Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
It is not clear if the deceased's spouse was alive at his death. If she was alive at his death and she was omitted from the trust for whatever reason she would have the right to elect to take against the estate but the election must be made rapidly. If an estate was opened in the probate division of the circuit court (if the trust was contained in a will this would be the case). That election would have to be made within six months of the grant of Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. If the spouse has since died at the very least an estate should be opened for her. The heirs of the wife need to hire counsel to protect their rights.

How do we legally leave our lake home to our seven grandchildren?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If your seven grandchildren are over the age of 18, all you need to do is write a simple will leaving the lake house to each of them by name in equal shares. If they are minors, and you expect that may not all be of legal age to take possession of property, you can leave the lake house in your will to their parents for the use and benefit of your grandchildren. Both you and your spouse should make sure you have wills in place and consult a local estate planning attorney to draft these documents for you so that your family will have no complications wrapping up your affairs.

How to cash a Estate check

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Contact a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your grandmother lived and died.  Since the check is to the estate, not to you, you must open a formal probate (proving) of her estate by filing an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration or, depending on the amount in her estate, a Small Estate Affidavit.
