Uncle's Estate

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.

Can you use items in an estate without permission that do not belong to you?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It really depends. The personal representative ("executor" is an old term you are in Oregon, right?) has the possession and control of estate property. This doesn't necessarily include the right to use the property; sometimes the PR drives a car that's in the estate; sometimes the PR is even living in a house owned by the estate. As a devisee of the estate, you have to look at what harm may be coming of this. Is it really a problem? Is the PR driving a car that belongs to the estate uninsured? Has the PR been living in the house for three years and still hasn't tried to sell it? Those are problems. Did the PR borrow a lawnmower that's in the estate, to mow his own lawn? That's not necessarily a problem.

Should I create a trust or will to leave my house to my cousin?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
If you would like your cousin to inherit your home if you pass on, you should have a living trust created and place your home within the trust so that your cousin can avoid the high costs and delays of probate. Also be inheriting your property, your cousin will be given a stepped up basis in your property and thus receive the most favorable tax treatment.
