Legal Answers
26 Questions Answered
- Q. Parent passed away. Trust states to divide assets amongst children. There are debts.
- A: Whether the estate is trust based or will based, the estate is responsible for payments of any debts against the estate. If creditors are known they must be paid unless there is some basis to question them. Additional notice to creditors needs to be published to notify other creditors.
Distributions cannot take place until the estate is settled.
- Q. I had to let a few of my credit cards go, would it be best to form an LLC to protect my assets?
- A: It would provide no benefit at all. In fact, trying to move your assets when in this type of situation is likely to be considered a fraudulent conveyance. In Arizona, those laws can apply both civil and criminal penalties. There are also fraudulent conveyance statutes under the bankruptcy laws.
You may wish to consult a bankruptcy attorney if you are in financial difficulties.
I hope things work out for you.
- Q. What form do I fill out and submit to court for removal and replacement of trustee
- A: Unless there is some reason to submit anything to court, such as an ongoing case, there is no reason to submit anything to court. Trust administration is private.
You will need a new certificate of trust naming you as the trustee and if on consent an affidavit from the prior trustee authorizing their removal and your replacement as trustee.
An attorney should be able to easily assist you with this so that it is done properly.
