Which Trust to set up?

Roger Durkin
Answered by attorney Roger Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin Law, PC
The question becomes, who do you want to get the life insurance; your child? or others. The issue appears to be protecting your child. If you want your child to get it at a date later than your death... say at 21, then yes an irrevocable trust might be the answer; however you will need a trustee, guardian type and you have to be concerned that the life insurance provided by your employer may end with employment or you may have to bear the cost of the life insurance. An irrevocable trust cannot be altered later,

Can my siblings force me to sell the house our parents left us that is under my name?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Tough question, and more information is needed. I'm guessing the house is a manufactured home, if the ownership is different from the land it's on. If you own the land, I don't think they could force you to sell. Normally, if the three of you owned the land and house, they could start an action for partition, which would result in the sale of the property. The big problem is that you are putting money into the property without really knowing what you own; the interesting question is not can they force you to sell, it's could you sell if you wanted to? Who's going to buy this mess? There are several different approaches to a problem like this, but no clear bright-line answer. Negotiate with your siblings.
