Does a trust trump an existing pre-nuptial agreement?

Stephen Joseph Mancini
Answered by attorney Stephen Joseph Mancini (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Strazzeri Mancini LLP
It is not a question of which document "trumps." Usually a pre-marital agreement does not restrict a later will or trust from providing for the surviving spouse. The language and intent of both documents need to be read in context. Not sure what the 30 day window is referring to.

Are there any timelines placed in probate law and why?

Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
If your name is on the deed to the house then you are an owner outside of probate. You can force the sale by starting a partition action. If no probate has been opened by your sister you may do so. If she has not done her duty to open a probate the court may choose you as the representative and not your sister. If the court does appoint your sister you can have the court supervise the probate and force your sister to act.

What are my rights to the property?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Spend a few bucks to get an attorney. There are lots of things wrong with what you describe. Why do people use the term "executor" still? Are you in Oregon? If someone has been appointed to handle the estate, the term is "personal representative." If someone is named "executor" in a will, that doesn't mean anything until the court appoints them. Why would "executor's" son be suing you? The PR is the one with the power to sue. In any case, I bet they haven't established grounds for the suit. But you've got $62,000 and your home "on the table." Don't lose everything by trying to save a few bucks on lawyer fees.
