Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, but why? Are you thinking asset protection? Then you want limited liability companies, not revocable trusts. Revocable trusts in Oregon provide essentially no protection from the settler's creditors.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey R. Gottlieb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Robert H. Glorch
It's not automatic. To set the probate process in motion, someone (e.g. the executor in the will or another family member) has to petition the court to be appointed. Normally the person who wants to file the petition will hire a probate attorney to represent them. The question of where the probate estate should be opened is an issue of fact. You mentioned that he was temporarily living in another state. Probate should be opened in the state where the decedent last had his permanent residence. So for example, if I live in Illinois, but happen to die while on vacation on Florida, my estate should be in Illinois even though I died in Florida. It's a little trickier if you're father was actually stayed in another state for a period of months, or years. It's really a question of fact and should come back to where he intended to live on a permanent basis. But this issue can be the subject of dispute at times, in part because state inheritances laws can differ.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
In order to deal with real estate of a decedent you must open a probate case and have the court appointed representative deed the property. It may be possible to work with a title insurance company and insure over the title defect with the filing of a death certificate, an affidavit of heir-ship and a deed signed by all heirs. There is likely to be an additional endorsement fee beyond the usual charges and a personal undertaking (indemnification) that the heirs must sign. This will not cure the title defect but it may induce the title company to assume the risks if they are comfortable with the heir-ship proof.
