Uncle's Estate

Answered by attorney Lee David Auerbach
Estate Planning lawyer at Auerbach Law Group, P.C.
The short answer is that a fresh set of eyes may be a good thing.  There are many ways to deal with the on going commission income, but more facts would be needed. Partial on going distributions are the preferred method of addressing the problem.  Lee David Auerbach Auerbach Law Group, P.C.

What can we do if our lawyer is telling us to waive our mother rights to our late brother's estate or get another lawyer?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
You need to have your lawyer clarify the advice, because you are not understanding it. Only your mother can waive her rights, no one else can waive them for her. Next, you need to understand why that advice is being given. The lawyer needs to explain why he/she has reached that conclusion. Of course, that means you have to listen. Don't argue, don't interpose your own conclusions as to what is right or what ought to be, listen so that you can understand the reasoning behind the conclusion. Beyond that, you have been given a choice, so do one or the other.

What can be done if my father passed with two homes and the step mother got both?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
You should talk to a local probate attorney. Your father's unsigned will is not effective. Your mother's will may make a difference, but what does it say? If it leaves the house to your father, then her will does not help you. You need to find out whether her will leaves the property to you and your sister. Also, be aware that if the property was deeded to your mother as "joint tenants", then it would automatically go to the other joint tenant when she died. In that case, her will does not affect who gets the property.?
