If you are left money in a Will that spills over to a revocable living trust, are you allowed to get a copy of the trust?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you are a beneficiary of the trust, you are entitled to a copy and to annual reports (accounts) of the trust. Send a notice in writing (it must be in writing) to the trustee and AND his attorney requesting the copy of the trust and annual trustee reports. Use the word trust "report" (not "account") or they will whine about the cost of having a CPA do audited financial accounts, which is not required but every trustee whines about it. If you are expecting a substantial amount of money, hire a lawyer to help you with this. If you don't act promptly, the money will go up the trustee's nose, or down on poker and roulette tables, and everybody will be broke and thereby "judgment proof."

Can the estate go to the only children from a previous marriage after the spouse dies?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
It depends. You need to see an attorney, discuss the family tree and the dates of death of each person.
