How long does it take for someone's estate to be settled?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In practical terms, it can't be done in less than six months (from the date of the petition for probate). My record longest is five years. It just depends on the facts and circumstances.

Deed

Dina Arvanitakis
Answered by attorney Dina Arvanitakis
Estate Planning lawyer at Arvanitakis Law Group, LLC
Your brother can add you on the deed either as tenants in common or tenants in common with rights of survivorship. However, if he adds you on the deed now, the property appraiser will increase the property taxes because there will be a new change of ownership because you were added to the deed. Property taxes will be re-assessed. What is your brother's objective to putting you on the deed? If it is to avoid probate, then he can do a lady bird deed and name you as a remainder interest. Ownership of the house will pass to you only if your brother predeceases you.

Can we still get a trust in addition to our will?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
Obviously you were not taking with a lawyer. I am not saying you need a trust, but to state that if you do not have over 3 million you do not need a trust is crazy. No one needs one, but almost all can benefit from one. If you would like to talk about it, I would be happy to discuss your specifics in a free consultation and tell you the advantages and disadvantages for your specific situation.
