Can an aunt set up a trust fund for their niece or nephew?

Answered by attorney Paul Arnold Nidich (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Paul A. Nidich Attorney at Law
Antone can establish a third-party special needs trust. But, I suggest you do so in concert with the parents to coordinate trustees and other relevant issues to save problems of unnecessary and possibly expensive duplication.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gregory L. Jensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jensen Law Group
Yes. Happens all the time. They would apply to be appointed Special Administrator and have authority to round up bank accounts, file the will, open safe deposit boxes, etc. They would NOT be entitled to take money for themselves but must report their work to the probate court and follow the court's instructions. To be appointed Special Administrator is pretty simple but usually involves help from an attorney.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
In California, a will must be probated unless the probatable estate is small enough, under $150,000, to be distributed pursuant to a declaration procedure. The "probatable estate" does not include property held in joint tenancy or which passes to a designated beneficiary (e.g., life insurance) or pursuant to a "pay on death" arrangement with a financial institution. Probate is usually necessary when there is real property standing only in the name of the decedent. If probated, there is a creditor claim procedure which determines which, if any, creditors get paid and how much. Yes, it is common practice to have an attorney represent the personal representative and the estate in a probate case.
