Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
A trust may provide that assets go to whomever the trustor intends, be it a spouse, charity, next of kin or an unrelated third person or entity. The only thing customary is that the trustor decides who is to receive his or her trust assets.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Give the Bank what they want. It is not worth fighting with them. Just calling your attorney has cost you more than the cost of the death certificate. Many institutions will require the death certificate.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on what you want to accomplish and the complexity of your estate. For most couples, a will does the trick. If you have a more complicated estate, or you have issues of capacity, a trust may be preferable.
