How can land be divided up between family members when there isn’t a will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Assuming Kentucky law is the same as California law, and assuming you have a potential buyer, your real estate broker would receive an offer from a buyer; if all of you grandchildren liked the terms offered, all of the grandchildren would have to accept and sign their acceptance of the offer. However, as an alternate procedure, one of the grandchildren could be designated to be the one party by a signed notarized and recorded power of attorney, from each grandchild, as to that specific piece of property from all of the other grandchildren , to act on their behalf to accept the offer, which would make the transaction cleaner, and easier to complete. Once the property has been placed into escrow to carry out the terms of the sale transaction, then the proceeds would be divided to all of the grandchildren in equal shares; the escrow company would have to be instructed to issue a check to each grandchild; at the same time the escrow company would have that grandchild sign a deed to the buyer into escrow as to that child's fractional interest, so the escrow can clear title in favor of the buyer; sellers will be asked by buyer to have title insurance issued; once that has happened, then escrow can close and a grant deed issues to the buyer. Good luck.

How does an estate be disseminated if the deceased didn't have a will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
Assuming there is in fact no will, your father-in-law's estate is to be distributed by the rules of intestate succession found in the California Probate Code. Your husband's rights to any portion of the estate depends on whether (a) your father-in-law's spouse was alive at the time he passed away; and (b) your father-in-law had any separate property. If your father-in-law was not married at the time of his passing, then your husband and brother-in-law would ordinarily have rights to an inheritance. A review of your father-in-law's estate with a probate lawyer will help you answer the questions, and determine if a probate is necessary. You may be able to get answers to these questions in a short telephone conference.

I made a free will online. There are default settings. If I cross something out of my Will and initial it, will my Will be valid?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
No.  Any change to a Will must be witnessed and notarized just like a Will.   In addition, while you can leave your estate to someone else as Trustee for a minor child, a conservator is appointed by the Court.   It sounds as though this "will" may be worth what it cost you -- and that it will cost you a great deal more given the high cost of probate in California.  Talk to a local estate planning attorney about a better way to leave things to you daughter (such as a revocable living trust).
