What should I do about my father's trust which my brother wants to get back?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Obtain yourself probate/trust administration litigation attorney immediately, to represent you as trustee of your father' trust assets and to communicate with the other lawyer to back off; as to any potential conflict of interest, I don't see one, but there may be if the attorney has confidential information from your father. That may be divulged to your brother.

If a married man dies and leaves everything to his son in a valid will, is his surviving spouse entitled to anything?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Possibly. In Nevada if the estate is under $100,000 the surviving spouse is entitled to it all. There are also issues with community property. A trust may be a better option. This should be addressed with an attorney, it is not a simple question.
