Can an illegal immigrant inherit a portion of a nj pension?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I have never heard of any case where a person's immigration status prevents them from being able to inherit something from an estate.  The problem the person is going to have is needing a Social Security number or other idetnifying information to be able to cliam the inheritance, and pay potential taxes on it.  you might be better served leaving a different asset to the person.

Do I need to do anything at all after my widowed mother died last month?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
From your description, it appears that you need do nothing.  The creditor(s) can probate the estate if they see value in doing so.

I'm 78 and my wife is 75, is it time ti transfer ownership of my house to my (3) children?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I'm not sure there is ever a "right" time.  There are many things to consider in transferring the house, not the least of which is the potential of some liability of your three children attaching to, or becoming a lien against your house.  There is also the loss of the step up in basis of the value of your house.  In other words, there are complex pros and cons that should be considered, not just the timing.  If you would like to discuss this further, please call my office.
