Should my husband and I get separate attorneys to do our wills?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
That was suggested because sometimes there's a conflict between the husband and wife, making it ethically improper for the same attorney to represent both. However, it all depends upon your particular set of facts and circumstances and your individual wishes as to the preferred estate plan. You and your husband should consult with an estate planning attorney to get the answer now that the financial advisors made the suggestion.

What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

Answered by attorney Richard Joseph Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
In Missouri, you will need to see an attorney. I am assuming that your father's share of the the value of the property is over $40,000. You may have to do a petition to determine heirs in regard to your father's estate and your mother's estate. Be sure to take the deed and the death certificates to the attorney to discuss this matter and have the names and addresses of all the children available.

She can do this in her Will. A Will doesn't take effect until death, so it won't affect any benefits she's receiving.
