How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
It depends entirely on how you are the beneficiary. Many bank accounts are created with their own beneficiary designations, and they are sometimes called payable on death or "POD" accounts. If that's what you're dealing with, all you should have to do is present the bank with proof of the death and your identity. If you mean that you're a beneficiary under a Will or Trust, the process gets quite a bit more involved and depends on many facts that you don't really spell out in your question.

How could I deny property inheritance?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
If you don't want that property, then you can exercise what is called a disclaimer. Contact an attorney specializing in estate matters for assistance.

Is there a way to either get the property over shares or some other option so it doesn't hurt us financially when the time comes to exact her will?

You must consult with an attorney that handles estate planning matters. It shouldn't hurt you financially in taxes. You just have to have the work done properly.
