Can my brother as the sole beneficiary take all the money from my father's estate even if there was no will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
If your brother was named as beneficiary, then the money belongs to him, now. There is relatively little that can be done. This is a "poor man's estate plan," at best. It may have been your father's intent that your brother receive everything. If that was not his intent, however, the manner in which he set things up is going to completely frustrate his intent. This is why it is so important to do your estate planning through an attorney. You have a very small chance of prevailing if you can show that your father lacked capacity to make the beneficiary designations or if you can prove that your brother made these changes, while acting under a power of attorney. I am sorry I cannot give you better news.

Is it legal for the nursing home to hold on to the guardianship even after m mother died?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
I believe guardianship's terminate by law upon the death of the person who is under the guardianship. However the guardian has to file an accounting and account for any funds it administered which will obviously happen after.

How do I become beneficiary and handle the financial affairs?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
You can keep it until you can't keep it, so long as your possession is lawful in the first instance; e.g., you were already living in the house when mom died. The lender may have an equitable claim against you for the fair value of your use, and certainly for any wanton damage (waste), but lenders rarely pursue those claims if there is no clear indication amounts awarded would be recoverable, commonly referred to as not throwing good money after bad.
