I`m 57 and about to get married. I have $30k equity in my home and $250k in the bank.

Jonathan Howell
Answered by attorney Jonathan Howell
Estate Planning lawyer at Czech & Howell, APC
If you keep that account totally separate then your future wife won't be entitled to it. If you continue to pay down the mortgage though with community funds after the marriage she would have a claim to some of the equity in the home. I would strongly recommend a pre-nuptial agreement in this case. Thanks,Jon

What will happen if my mother's life estate is to be sold and do we have to pay her any of the proceeds?

First, this question can't be answered except by reading the actual document that created the life estate. Second, if your brothers have lawyered up and you don't, you're going to lose ugly and it will probably cost you more than getting an attorney involved on your side.

Can your legal fees be recovered in a contested Will case if you win in court?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
You don't really give me enough information to answer your question completely. Are you dads second spouse? The grounds for challenging a will are sometimes pretty difficult to prove. The most common ground undue influence. Visit be especially hard to prove against the spouse unless it could be proved that she convinced her husband, through her actions, to marry her with the ultimate goal being only to inherit his estate. This would be extremely difficult to prove especially if they had been married any period of time. As to whether or not you could recover your attorney fees this is something you'll have to discuss with the lawyer that represent you in the will contest lawsuit. Generally speaking, it would be up to the trial court to award attorney fees to the party that wins.
