Does my father have any rights to any of my stepmother’s inheritance if they have been married for 30 years?

Father has no inheritance rights to her separate property, but may have rights to her one half share of the community property if she did not will her one half out to someone else.

I`m 57 and about to get married. I have $30k equity in my home and $250k in the bank.

Stephen Marc Drucker
Answered by attorney Stephen Marc Drucker (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Legal Action Workshop Professional Corporation
It would be advisable that you meet with an experienced estate planning attorney so that you understand your choices. In CA if you own real estate you would need a Trust to avoid probate for your heirs.  In your case it sounds like you wish to keep your property as 'separate property' and, in the event of your death, your property would go to your daughter or to your new wife and daughter.  This can be accomplished in a Trust. With regard to the money in the bank--you may wish to give the bank a beneficiary for that money--you can speak with the bank regarding this.

Can your legal fees be recovered in a contested Will case if you win in court?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Scott Kemble Wilson (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Scott K. Wilson
Yes, the "winner" of a will contest case will have a reasonable attorney fee awarded to him/her. Also sometimes a Will will have an "anti contest " provision that says basically if you contest the will you loose your inheritance provided in the will. My guess your husband's will doesn't have this - but look for it. The only thing you can do now on the fee issue to put step son on notice that prevailing party fees will be requested once his claim has been dismissed. I seem to remember that there is a short statute of limitations for a will challenge - it might be as short as 5 months after the will is admitted for probate. So if step son filed his TEDRA petition after that he may be out of luck.
