Are my girlfriend and her brother required by law to share the proceeds of their mother’s house with their nephew?

Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
The language of the trust needs to be examined. If it provides that designated beneficiaries must survive the settlor , or survive her by a certain period of time, such as 30 days, that is usually the only restriction on the interest vesting in the beneficiary. The usual rule of construction is that after the interest vests, it is part of the beneficiary's estate, so the nephew is entitled to the sister's interest if he is the beneficiary of the sister's estate, or her heir if she died intestate.

Have I really legally been served if there was just a stack of papers laying and blowing at the end of the driveway by the street?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
The short answer is "no, there is no proper service here." HOWEVER, there is a practice known as "sewer service," where less-than-honest process servers will do something similar to what happened here, and then sign a proof of service saying service occurred. This will lead to a judgment being entered without your even knowing about it. You will then have to spend money to have the judgment set aside (and believe it or not, the effort to set the judgment aside is not always successful). I have seen variations on this problem twice with clients in the past two years. Best practice would be to reach out to a litigator (a lawyer who does courtroom work) and start dealing with this issue. It will save you money in the long run. This is particularly true because you have notice of the problem. The Court will take into account how quickly you act in addressing this problem once you have notice. If judgment has already been entered (you may be able to find out from the Court's website), do not fret. Go immediately to a lawyer and file a motion to have this set aside. This isn't not something a lay person is generally able to do by himself it's not simply a matter of explaining orally to the judge what happened. Indeed, because you were not personally the defendant and there is a trust involved, you may be forced to hire a lawyer. Again, do not delay here even if there is no judgment yet time is not your friend in this situation.

How to transfer land deed that was bequeathed to my son after the owner's death?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Son needs to contact a probate attorney in the county where the property is located in Colorado or where the decedent died, to commence a probate proceeding to obtain an order transferring title to the property to him pursuant to the terms of the will.
