Don't I have the right to know about my children's trust fund?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
The short answer is no, but you may be able to demand that the trustee provide an accounting if you feel there has been mismanagement or self-dealing. That demand would probably be made in a probate court, not a family court.

Would having a possible credit card judgment pending affect her chances of getting the reverse mortgage?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The credit worthiness of the applicant will always affect loan qualification. This does not mean the loan cannot be obtained. It may be that the lender will want funds withdrawn under the reverse mortgage to pay off the credit card judgment.

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

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on the signature card of the account. If the account is Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) or Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD) or has a beneficiary designation, then a death certificate should suffice. In all other cases, an order from the probate court or letters testamentary / administration would be needed. In most cases, it's just easier to give the bank what they want for their internal bookkeeping purposes (in this case a death certificate) versus trying to explain to their staff why they don't need it.
