What options do my children have regarding inheriting my debt? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Mother has a life estate in the land but the children are the ultimate owners. There are cases where the terms of a will can be overturned by a court but they are very rare. You don't indicate why Mother is trying to obtain the land. There may be some legitimate reasons, such as one of the children is severely disabled and inheritance of this much property would cause problems with disability or medical benefits. But generally Mother would have no legitimate claim to the property unless all the children agreed to turn it over to her. And there could be some significant tax consequences to that action.

What should she do if she was informed by his children she had to leave the house and had nothing for her because they were just married six months?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Most important: she should not move out of the house. She should inform them to contact her lawyer, and she should plan to file a spousal property petition if he had no will. If she does move out, she likely will not have the right to return and may lose out. If he has no will that mentions her, then she probably is entitled to get all of the community property, if any, and a third of the rest!
