If the will states that there are two equal shares to my mother’s bank account is in joint names can I take half out without my sister’s consent?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
What the Will says does not matter, if the account is truly joint. If it is not a joint asset, it cannot be made one without going through probate. In other words, if the account was in your mother's name alone, it is now part of her estate and your sister is in control of it. If it was a joint account, then your sister has no legal control of it as Personal Representative, because her authority extends only to probate assets. If there is something else going on, then more information is needed. You may want to consult with a lawyer on this before taking any further action.

How can I sign my deed to my home over to my daughter without hiring an attorney?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Your issue is not solely the preparation of a deed. You really should speak with an attorney who can address all of the issues related to transferring your home, i.e. necessity of a Federal and possible gift tax return, possible denial of Medicaid benefits and loss of homestead, just to name a few. This is not a decision that should be taken lightly. This information is only intended to give general information in response to an inquiry. It does not establish an attorney client relationship. This response is only based upon the limited facts presented and is merely intended to assist you in determining if you should contact an attorney to provide you with legal advice.

What are the duties of an executor and when do I get to see the will of the estate I just inherited?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The will must be filed with the Superior court in the county of the death of testator(maker of will) within 30 days of death. If you are the beneficiary under the will, you should be able to see the will now; who has custody of the will? The duties of an executor are to martial the assets of the estate, the expenses of the estate, file a petition into probate and distribute the estate as directed by the will, plus a lot of other ancillary duties. Please obtain the assistance of probate counsel to assist you; the fees and costs of the attorney come out of the estate proceeds.
