What can we do if our lawyer is telling us to waive our mother rights to our late brother's estate or get another lawyer?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
There's a lot unsaid in your question. It sounds like the lawyer may have a conflict of interest, and has properly disclosed this to you. But you don't say why you are asked to do anything on your mother's behalf is she incapacitated? Do you have power of attorney? I will say that if I had a client who doesn't like my advice, I would prefer that they talk to another lawyer. I can't be the right lawyer for everybody in the world; sometimes it's best to get a second opinion.

If I pay the taxes on the house, would I get the money back when the estate is split among the heirs?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
You should have a written agreement with the other heirs about you advancing the funds to pay the taxes and their agreement to reimburse you from estate funds. However, I don't know enough about the estate to know if there are other issues of concern.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
Creditors can collect after a person's death-they generally must file a creditor's claim against the estate within a certain period of publication of a notice by the executor. Specific rules will apply to secured debts like home loans. A will does not necessarily have to be probated-if a person wants to begin the 90-day period in which a creditor must file a claim or lose the claim, the will must be probated and a personal representative/executor must be appointed. A lawyer is not necessary but can provide great value in the administration process. Kind regards, Geoff N. Germane
