There were 9 siblings and only one sibling is living. Who does the land rightfully belong to? The living sibling or sibling and children of deceased

Robert W. Hughes
Answered by attorney Robert W. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
Assuming there is no will, then the land should have been distributed to your grandmother’s spouse, if living at the time of her death, and to her children living at the time of her death. Children who died, but have children, will have that child’s share distributed to the deceased child’s children.

Should we have a trust or flp or something else to protect future heirs

Loraine M. DiSalvo
Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
You may or may not need a trust or a family limited partnership. However, you do need an estate plan if you don't already have one in place. Even if you do have one in place, if it has been more than 3 years or so, it would be a good idea to sit down with your estate planning attorney and give it a review.   This question is not one which is suited for an answer on this forum, because in order for me or any other attorney to tell you what you should have in place to protect your family and transfer your assets effeciently, the attorney MUST be able to sit down with you, review your assets in detail, review your family situation, explain the issues you are facing and your options for dealing with them, and make personal recommendations. So, I cannot tell you whether you need a trust, FLP, or any other planning structure. I can tell you that if you have rental properties or a working farm (you mentioned the farm, but you don't state what type of activities you conduct on the farm and whether it's really a business or just a personal use farm), you may well benefit from having at least one or two limited liability companies (which may or may not be structured as typical "family" LLCs), to help protect you against potential liability that might arise with regard to those properties. As for a trust, there are two basic types: irrevocable and revocable. Irrevocable trusts come in many flavors, but are primarily tax planning techniques. If done correctly, the irrevocable trust is generally designed to eventually move the assets it holds out of your estate for estate tax purposes; some types are also designed to have charitable deduction benefits. They generally also involve the loss of at least some degree of control by you over the assets transferred to the trust. Revocable trusts are usually a probate-avoidance technique, but can also be helpful in the event of a long-term incapacity. If you have real estate that is located in a different state from your principal residence, or if you plan to distribute your estate in a manner that may make a would-be heir unhappy, avoiding probate may be a good idea. Otherwise, whether you really need to avoid probate depends on your principal state of residence (GA is generally NOT a state where a normal probate is all that difficult or expensive). Please find a good estate planning attorney in the state where you have your principal residence and get a consultation. It will be worth the time spent.

What are we entitled for if dad didn't have a will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It depends. Even without a Will, your father could have provided for you by naming you as beneficiaries on some of his assets. There could be life insurance. There could be IRAs or annuities, as well. If that was not done and you were not joint tenants on any of his assets, then you would be unlikely to receive anything, unless the estate were relatively large. In the absence of a Will, the spouse is entitled to roughly the first $200K and half of the rest.
