Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
No, you do not need to leave anything to any of your children. However, you must mention them in your will. Therefore, for example, "I have four children, namely A, B, C, and D. I give my entire estate to E and F." If you want, you could even throw in, "I give nothing to my issue." Don't put in your reasons.

How can I make sure that I would not lose my mother’s property?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Assuming mother did not have a will, you can file heirship affidavits and deeds to re-title the property to your name. You can then pay taxes and keep the property. You will need a probate lawyer and/or a title company to assist you.

What can I do to get my mother's remains from my grandmother?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Perhaps you could file an action in court and ask a court to order the remains to be turned over to you. Not sure of the legal theory. The fact that you paid the funeral bill doesn't give you a right to the remains. Your grandmother (her mother) is a "next of kin", just like you (as a child) - at least under the laws of intestacy in Michigan. So she may have a right to the remains - on an equal footing to yours. Perhaps a judge will be willing to play Solomon and divide the ashes amongst the next of kin.
