Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No you do not have to leave something to each child. Some attorneys would suggest you do to avoid a contest. I strongly recommend working with an attorney who can completely and accurately address the reasons WHY are are disinheriting a child in your will or trust in order to help defend against any contest.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Assuming your father died with assets of at least $150,000.00 in California, and this was the state of his residence, a petition for probate would be filed in the county of his last known residence, and you should seek the assistance of a probate lawyer to handle the matter, and who are paid out of the assets of the estate.

I'd like my deceased grandparents house in my name. (They have 3 children) there is no will, I am preparing an affidavit of heirship, is there more?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
After the Affidavit of Heirship has been recorded by the county clerk, the three children of your deceased grandparents can each sign a Special Warranty Deed of Gift deeding their interest to you and record these with the county clerk.  It is not a DIY project.  It is also not expensive.  Hire an attorney to make sure that it gets done right.  Neither occupancy nor paying taxes gives you any ownership interest.
