After probate is completed, does the executor have to open up an estate account?

Sabina Tomshinsky
Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Estate Planning lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
Generally, an estate account is opened by a personal representative once probate is commenced. When probate is completed, the case is closed and all estate account(s) should be closed. You should consult with a probate attorney in your area for further advice specific to your case.

Our home, should it be in our trust

Christopher Kennedy Caswell
Answered by attorney Christopher Kennedy Caswell (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christopher K. Caswell, P.A.
There are two separate issues here. First of all, any improvements built on jointly held land belong to the jointly held land. Therefore, I do not understand the circumstances where your husband could build a house in his "name". Perhaps he borrowed the money only under his name, but that does not mean that the house is in his name. Second, in Florida it is sometimes a complex situation as to whether or not a principal residence should be held in a trust or trusts. Opinions differ among attorneys, so I would strongly urge you to consult with competent legal counsel who can evaluate and advise you about your complete estate plan and then give you advice. There are many facts and circumstances that can affect that decision. This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.

How do we obtain deceased mother's bank funds?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
It sounds like the will is not valid and you will need to open a probate unless there is a co-owner on the account or a payable on death beneficiary.
