Q. What if my sibling left a Will and died will my assets follow the will or go to her daughter who my sibling left nothing

September 21, 2021

A: In Kansas, a Will, by itself, won't transfer any assets until it has been probated. This is a court process usually supervised by a Judge. I would highly recommend speaking with a lawyer about this situation. Your lawyer can help review the Will and present it to the probate court. There may be other ways by which assets transfer, and if there are, the Will may or may not be relevant to those assets. We offer consultations to help figure out what strategies may be needed and who the lawful heirs / beneficiaries of all the assets will be.

Q. In the state of Kansas, is it legal for me to hand write my own will with two witnesses to my signature?

September 17, 2021

A: As a general matter, it is not a requirement to have a will typed, and there is no requirement that the will be typed by someone other than yourself. However, there are a LOT of other variables to consider. As a probate and estate planning attorney, I've seen countless messes that not only could have been avoided by a proper estate plan, but were actually caused by the type of estate plan you're asking about. I would highly recommend you reach out to an attorney to help. If we can be of any assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

Q. What is a grantor? Are they financially responsible for the borrower's debt? Will it void a previous will?

August 13, 2021

A: It looks like there are a number of different topics/questions here. Generally speaking, a bank will want both spouses to sign the mortgage, which is to say they want both spouses to consent to the lien being attached to the real estate. As a married couple, both spouses have an interest in the primary residence. If the bank is going to be able to foreclose for lack of payment, both spouses need to have signed the mortgage. ...And if both spouses don't sign, the bank is in a much worse place when it comes to foreclosure, which means they probably won't lend the money in the first place. It also sounds like the estate planning documents ought to be reviewed by an attorney who specializes in things like this. I'd be happy to be a resource if you reach out to our office!
