- Q. My parents had an ANB trust. My father never started to be trust when my mom passed away.
- A: The accounting would normally start with the value of all assets that existed on the day your mother died. But, if there are no step-siblings (children from other marriages or relationships) then, in many cases, all of the children can agree in writing to avoid the forensic accounting and split the assets the way a trust or will says it should be split. If your parents left assets valued at $184,500+ and neither parent left a trust, you may have to go through a court process called probate before any bank will release funds to anyone. Banks insist on seeing a trust, will, affidavit or even a court order before releasing funds to any random relative who gets to the bank first. I hope this he ... Read More
- Q. Is there a way getting the house under someone's name cheaper, or we have no choice but to go with a probate attorney?
- A: The answer to your question depends on what other assets your father had in his name only and whether your father had a trust, a will, or did no estate planning. A spousal property petition is certainly a good possibility. If you don’t want to use an attorney, you could try to draft the Petition yourself by going to the self-help center at your local courthouse to get the paperwork, but please know that, if it isn’t prepared in accordance with the law and local rules, the judge could reject it and make you re-write it. Self-Help centers can only hand you the paperwork; they cannot give you legal advice. Sorry about that. But only people who have passed the Bar Exam are authorized to practice ... Read More
- Q. My parents had an a and b trust my mom died and my father made a new trust without honoring my mothers wishes
- A: A-B Trusts are common in blended family situations for this reason: In a traditional situation where a married couple has a standard revocable trust (NOT an A-B Trust), after the first spouse dies and leaves 100% of their assets to the other spouse, then the second spouse can do whatever they want with 100% of their combined assets. So, if parents of a blended family did this traditional type of trust, the children of the first spouse to die (called the "decedent") could easily cut out the step-kids to ensure they inherit nothing. That is why, in blended families, it is common to have an A-B Trust which says the one married couple's joint trust splits into two separate trusts ... Read More
