Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You can but there is no real benefit to doing so. Living trusts do not protect your assets from creditors.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on the signature card of the account. If the account is Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) or Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD) or has a beneficiary designation, then a death certificate should suffice. In all other cases, an order from the probate court or letters testamentary / administration would be needed. In most cases, it's just easier to give the bank what they want for their internal bookkeeping purposes (in this case a death certificate) versus trying to explain to their staff why they don't need it.

Do I have to pay for my late mother's medical bills if I am the executor of her estate?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If your mother left behind any assets (bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds, etc.), those monies are to be used to pay her debts. If she did not, then the estate is insolvent and will be unable to pay her creditors. It's unclear from your question whether or not your mother left behind a last will & testament, but it's a good idea for you to consult with a local attorney familiar with estate planning for more guidance.
