When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
That depends on the court. In larger counties (Dallas, Tarrant, Harris), where there are statutory probate courts, the courts have more staff and resources and the court administrator or other staff may provide instruction. It is ultimately your responsibility to know your duties and your attorney should be your first resource on that. Your first responsibility is going to be to file an Inventory and Appraisement of the estate, which is due 90 days from when you receive letters of administration.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Answered by attorney Sherrie Lynn Davidson (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Sherrie L. Davidson LLC
You do not have to leave anyone anything. However, each child should be specifically named to Show your intent that they receive nothing rather than saying nothing about them. This ensures your intent and not that they were mistakenly left out.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
Your situation is sufficiently complex (unmarried couple, real estate that is the separate property of one of the partners) that you need to meet with someone who does estate planning, and perhaps someone who can help you with a separate property agreement. These are not easy conversations to have, as a number of people fear that the separate property agreement is really a "pre-separation" agreement, when it is really a device to set down your desires on paper so that everyone understands and there is no confusion. It is unusual that a person who owns real estate would opt for a will over a living trust, but it happens. The estate planner with whom you consult can evaluate your situation and advise you appropriately.
