Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

If you are the beneficiary, then the life insurance proceeds are yours. As long as you did not guarantee the debt, you should be okay.

What are my rights as the heir to my grandfather's estate?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
Unless your grandfather had a will which had specific gifts to you, you are not entitled to anything of your grandfather's in your own right as he predeceased your father. However, you do have a right to probate your father's estate and possibly make a claim on your grandfather's estate in the administration of your father's estate. The real problem is the time that has elapsed. Applications for traditional probate must be made within 4 years of the death of the decedent - your choices in how to act on your father's estate are now limited.

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

Daniel J. Pingelton
Answered by attorney Daniel J. Pingelton
Estate Planning lawyer at The Pingelton Law Firm
It's probably the most common pattern, but it all depends on what the person who created the trust desired. Unfortunately, sometimes a person will just follow a form pattern without someone explaining exactly what is happening. Hopefully that did not happen here. A spouse might be provided for it, for example, the person creating the trust was very close to him/her, and wanted the spouse to receive something regardless of whether she remained married to the descendant.
