Are the children entitled to their mother's share even though they were not named in the will?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
To answer this question, you have to read the will. Sometimes wills say that the children of a deceased child will inherit their parent's share. Sometimes, it uses words like "per stirpes" which means the same thing. Other times, the will might say that a deceased child's share lapses. In that case, the grandchildren receive nothing. If the will is silent, the children of a deceased child get to inherit under what is called the "antilapse" statute.

Is it better to hire an attorney where the property is located, or is better to hire an attorney in my state for convenience?

Hire an attorney at least in the state where the person died, and if you find a good attorney in the county where the person died, that would be ideal. See allcaliforniaprobate.com.

If a person is recently deceased and has a car loan is his name only and you continue to make the car payment until the vehicle?

Yes to both questions; usually, if payments continue to be made, the lender will continue to accept them and be happy. However, death is probably a default in the loan, and the lender has the right to call the loan or exercise any other right it has on default. Plus, do you really want to continue to make payments on a vehicle you don't own? Will you inherit it eventually? Is there a probate estate (estate should make the payments)? Can you get insurance on the vehicle?
