If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No. If there was no legal separation or divorce, she is legally entitled to all of the community property and 33% to 50% of the separate property. If he had no children, she will get it all.

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

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
Nothing requires you to leave anything to any of your children in your will. You need to make your will absolutely crystal clear, however, that you do not intend to leave them anything. You would be wise to consult with an estate-planning lawyer as to how this can best be done.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You can always sue anyone, anytime. The question is whether you have a valid claim against them. Just because you are his child does not mean that you are his beneficiary. If your father left a valid Will or trust leaving his assets to another, that is his choice, absent you being under the age of eighteen at the time of his death. This the first question is how old are you? If you are 18 or older then you need to determine if he left a valid Will or a trust. If he left either and you are not the named beneficiary, then you do not have a claim. If not, you may. You should speak to an attorney if you have any questions about your rights.
