How do I leave everything to my kids?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Your spouse has a right under to receive a portion of your joint assets regardless of what your will says. You should meet with an estate planner to structure a will that gives your spouse as little as possible. If you can get a spousal agreement from your spouse that you don't have to give your spouse anything, your spouse is not entitled to get anything. You also should talk to your mother about revising her will to leave any inheritance for you in trust for your benefit during life and then to your children. Your spouse would not be entitled to any share of that.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, creditors can collect from your estate. A will must be submitted to the court for a probate procedure, or else it does nothing at all. It is best to use a lawyer, as there are many steps, many potential traps, and a huge learning-curve. The expenses of probate are charged to the estate.
