Does a will become invalid if the residence changes states?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
While recommended, it may not be necessarily required. The question is whether a Maryland Will complies with Florida law once the Testator/Testatrix becomes a Florida resident. Florida basically requires 2 witnesses and that the Will is signed at the end in front of everyone who signs the Will. If it does, it can be valid. If not, it won't. The Will does not have to be changed just because your daughter changed her name. But if you update your Will, it should be updated as well.

If my mother dies, am I responsible for her debts?

Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
When anyone passes, it is their estate that is responsible for their debts. If there are insufficient assets, the creditors will have to settle for less.

Could he, as a third party, delay the proceedings with a caveat or lawsuit if he believed he was entitled to compensation from the deceased?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
In Michigan, there is no Caveat procedure. If he was due something from the decedent, he could file a claim against the estate. The Personal Representative would then need to either accept or deny the claim. If the claim is denied, the claimant would need to file a lawsuit against the estate within 63 days or the claim would be barred. He would not be considered an interested person of the estate and he would not have the right to notice, and he would otherwise not have standing. His sole remedy under Michigan law would be to file a claim. Good luck with the book!
