If our house is solely in my husband's name, in the event of his death, will the house automatically go to me, his wife?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
If title is solely in your husband's name title will not automatically transfer on his death. A probate must be opened. Title will transfer in accord with the terms of his Will. If there is no Will, then title will transfer in accord with the rules on descent and distribution. If there are children born to or adopted by your husband they will receive a ? interest in the home and the spouse will receive a ? interest. If there are no children then the spouse will receive the entire interest. The simplest way to receive the house directly upon the death of your husband, without opening a probate, is to transfer the house to you and your husband as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Placing the house into a trust could also accomplish the transfer without probate.

If I give my parents a million dollars will I have to pay taxes on it?

Answered by attorney Kenneth R Gold (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gold & Associates PC
Probably not but you would need to file a gift tax return. Depends on what if any changes in the law are enacted for 2013. I suggest you talk to an estate planning and or tax attorney.

What can be done on my mother's will and sale of her home after her death?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Placing your brother's name on a deed as a joint owner or pay on death beneficiary supersedes the Will. Thus, he is probably the legal owner and you are probably not entitled to any proceeds. You should bring copies of all paperwork to have an attorney review what actually transpired. The house is probably not subject to the Will or probate. However, absent other facts you are probably not entitled to any proceeds. This information is only intended to give general information in response to an inquiry. It does not establish an attorney client relationship. This response is only based upon the limited facts presented and is merely intended to assist you in determining if you should contact an attorney to provide you with legal advice.
