Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
No, you do not need to leave anything to any of your children. However, you must mention them in your will. Therefore, for example, "I have four children, namely A, B, C, and D. I give my entire estate to E and F." If you want, you could even throw in, "I give nothing to my issue." Don't put in your reasons.

What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Now that she is deceased, the power of attorney is no longer effective. You need to open a probate estate for her and ask to be appointed the personal representative.

As you describe the situation,the estate did have assets. It had the $5,000 you and your sibling are disputing. You are not entitled to the assets of the estate without some action, perhaps as little as filing a small estate affidavit. As much as you do not want to consider it, your sibling is in the right until you take action to give you a legal right to some portion of the $5,000.
