Would a notarized letter be good that states that the house will be left to me if something happens to him and there’s no will?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Your son needs a will. A notarized letter probably would not be sufficient and might ldeal to expensive litigation. If your son dies without a will, everything goes to his minor son. And it will be run by whoever gets appointed guardian, whose purpose will be to benefit the son only, not you. It may be that some of what you want to accomplish can be accomplished by a notarized document or by a written agreement, but even then your son should have a will.

If I leave my estate to my wife, does it have to go to probate?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
If the estate is extremely small or there is nothing beyond minimal personal possessions (clothing, etc.) and there are no significant debts, the estate does not need to go to probate.

Does a person with a hyphenated last name always have to use both names on legal documents?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
A person always needs to use his or her full legal name on such documents (although you may be able to abbreviate your middle name if you have one). Unlike some parts of Europe, the US does not consider one part of a last name more or less "dominant" than any other part.
