What documents do I need to claim money from a trust?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You should speak with a probate attorney. Your aunt's estate probably needs to be probated in the State where she resided to obtain an order in favor of your mother. If her estate was already probated, you will probably need to reopen her estate to address the inheritance. Since your mother had not put the inheritance in her trust before death, you will probably need to probate her estate as well to fund the trust. If her estate was probated already, you will probably need to reopen it. Since she had a trust you may have avoided probate in the past, but this new asset will need to be probated.

Inherit

Answered by attorney Gregory M Lane
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Gregory M. Lane
It sounds like the administrator of the estate id trying to account for expenses of the deceased which may have been paid out of his or her account after he or she died for bills which existed at the time of his or her death.  This would be necessary for purposes of any estate or inheritance tax returns.  Debts of a deceased person are typically allowed as deductions from the taxable value of any property he or she had at the time of death.  As for your individual accounts information that sounds like overreaching but the joint account is probably proper.  For the joint account if you do not turn over the information the Executor may need to use a subpoena to order you or the bank to turn over the statements.  I advise you to do what you can to cooperate - it helps resolve loose ends for your now-deceased partner.

How do I leave everything to my kids?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The personal things you should give to your kids during your lifetime. You can create a will that leaves all to your kids, but your spouse will have the right to "elect against the will" when you pass away, claiming her elective share of your estate, which is based on the length of time you have been married. If you disclaim the inheritance from your mother it will pass as though you had died before her which may work, but you cannot change the way the property passes if you disclaim. You could ask your mother to leave the property to your kids.
