As an adopted grandchild and the passing of my grandmother, I need to know how long it will take for her will to be read, and will I be notified?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
If you were adopted away you have no rights unless you were left something in the will. Wills are not read. That is a fiction. You would only be notified once a probate proceeding is started and only if you were not adopted out the family or again are a beneficiary.

How do I remove a name or a deceased person (niece and her heirs) from my will and revocable living trust?

No. You should not mark up or cross out the will in any way. Instead, you should make a codicil to the will and make the changes you wish. You can make a trust amendment to make changes to the trust. If the you should make more significant changes, it would be a good idea to make a new will or restate the trust.

It is within the discretion of the trustee to consider a student education loan as a proper purpose for education principal withdrawals. The trust would pay the student loans directly.
