- Q. My sister left mutual fund money to my mother but my mother’s death preceded the death of my sister. My sister’s husband
- A: The term "left" is ambiguous. If the mutual fund had someone as the beneficiary and that beneficiary predeceased, the fund reverts to the decedent's estate. If the mutual fund was bequeathed in a will, then the will must be reviewed to determine if someone else specifically gets the fund or it reverts to the residuary clause.

- Q. Is a real estate deed still valid if it was never recorded?
- A: An unrecorded deed is still valid and should be recorded asap, as NYS is a "race" state meaning of two valid deeds, the first filed has priority even if the other was more recent. Upon the death of one joint tenant, the survivor automatically obtains full ownership. Also, although there is no mention of the house in a will, if the unrecorded deed were to be successfully challenged, the old deed which was filed and valid and solely in the name of the deceased should control, and the residuary clause in the will should determine the recipient(s) of that asset or share of the asset. Of course, all this is without knowing all the facts, and for that reason you should consult with a ... Read More
