Is tangible personal property included in probate?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Technically, yes. If tangible personal property is all there is to be probated, though, I think families usually just handle this informally. "Tangible personal property" covers a lot of ground, from the beat-up recliner in the den to the priceless Van Gogh that hung over the mantelpiece. If there are antiques or collectibles, or other property having substantial value, then probate may be necessary. If it's just Mom's stuff, then the family can just parcel it out. If one child is being unreasonable, or has taken things and refuses to share, then probate may be necessary.

How long do you have to be married before she is entitled to my estate?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Without a will, maybe. It really depends on state law, whether there was a pre-nup, etc. Just because he is dying does not make him incompetent so he may want her to have his stuff. Somebody should talk with dad about what he wants to happen to his property. If he wants some or all of it to go to his children, then he needs to make a will that says that.

Can I include conditions in my will in regards to custody of my children?

Yes you can. You can design your plan limited to your imagination. However, these days we do not use Wills to appoint a Guardian we use what is called an form called Appointment of Guardian. Wills go through probate. You should consider a living trust so that your children do not receive their assets at age 18 to do what they want with the assets. This is what is called one great year.
