Is it up to the personal representative of a will to decide whether a homestead property is an asset of the estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
The Personal Representative, with the assistance of their legal counsel, can make a determination if the property is homestead. If it is felt it is, then a court order declaring it homestead is necessary. If not sure, then you file a petition with the court on your best determination and let the court decide. If not, then no court order is needed. However, if the beneficiary tries to sell the property and a title agent later determines that it could be or is, then you will have to go back to court to get an order.

In order to settle an estate valued under 150,000 without probate does the real property have to be less than 50,000?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
In Missouri, no matter the value of the assets, you need to open up a probate estate if the decedent died with assets in her or his name only with no beneficiary designation on the assets. In Missouri, the small estate affidavit is for estates with net assets less than $40,000. You would subtract the deed of trust value from the market value, leaving you with approximately $30,000, but then you need to add in the value of the personal property which would take it over $40,000. See an attorney for more details.
