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

S Christopher Hunter
Answered by attorney S Christopher Hunter (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Hunter Law Offices, PLLC
When a person dies without a will the legal community refers to it as dying intestate. If someone dies intestate then state law will determine who is entitled to get what and how much. Usually the order of inheritance goes something like this to spouse if living, children and/or their children's descendants if living, siblings and/or their descendants if living, grandparents if living and grandparents descendants if living. At some point if there is no one living then the state will get the assets. The first step when someone passes away is to determine what they owned when they passed away. The second step is to determine whether it is a probatable asset (stuff that the father owned that has to go through probate court to be transferred to the heirs) or a non probatable assets (stuff that passed automatically to the individual the deceased wanted it to go to). The general rule of thumb is that assets held in a trust, were jointly owned, had named beneficiaries, do not have to go through probate. All other assets do. Also to be determined is who the personal representative (the person who is responsible for paying any bills or expenses that the father owed out of the estate and then distributing any remaining assets to the family). The order that someone is given priority to be the personal representative is the same order given to inherit when someone dies intestate. If your husband and his brother are your father in laws closest living relatives then they would have equal priority to be the PR. They would have to decide who should do it. I would definitely consult with an attorney who should be able to give you specific advice about your situation as every situation is different.

I have a power of attorney for my mom will that apply to medical decisions or do I require a separate medical power of attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It depends on the terms of the POA. In many cases, the same form can cover both areas. The separate medical power might allow for a more specific expression of intentions, if that is desired. These forms are best prepared by an attorney.

Is there an easy way to change my mother's will?

Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
You can't change the will, but you can make your brother a co-owner of the house by doing a partial title transfer.
