Can an aunt set up a trust fund for their niece or nephew?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
If you are using your own funds, then yes. If you are using money that your nephew would be entitled, i.e. a settlement, there are limitations. Special Needs Trusts and Supplemental Needs Trusts should be established by an attorney with experience in that area of law. We charge $100 for a one hour consultation with an attorney.

What do I do if I disagree with being the sole beneficiary of my mothers estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Larry Dale Webb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Larry Webb
The Will governs the distribution of the estate; there are a couple of things you can do. 1. Accept the estate and give your sisters their share but this may have tax consequences. Consult with an attorney. 2. You sisters can file a friendly challenge to the probate and you can all stipulate to a settlement, which has the advantage of being an estate distribution, not a gift from you to your sisters. More time and expense in the probate, lower likelihood of adverse tax situation.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Yes, creditors can collect after your death. A Will does not have to be probated. Yes, you can use a lawyer. You can also try to do it without a lawyer; but, it is difficult.
