Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
It is not a question of customary, it is a question of what the testator wanted to do. Perhaps he or she did not trust the spouse or felt that the spouse would be able to go on with his or her life and would not need the benefits of the trust. You may also talk to the trustee about whether the trustee can pay for certain necessities of the children while living with the spouse, e.g. mortgage, utilities, schooling.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

This sounds like it will need to go through probate. Once in probate, you can sign quit claim deeds for your interest over to your brother.

Can I change the locks of a home to a person who just died and has no will?

Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you are not a blood relative of this person, and his family is now coming to assert ownership of his property and belongings, you cannot legally change the locks of his home. Even without a will, a person's belongings pass by a law known as intestate succession, so the relatives coming out of the woodwork have a legal claim to the residence as well as any other items of value he left behind. They can assert this claim by filing a small estate affidavit in the county where your friend died.
