Revocable trust

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the trustee of the trust is also the grantor, a revocable trust usually indicates that upon the death of the grantor/trustee, the assets held in the trust are distributed.  The grantor/trustee could direct that the assets are distributed to the estate, or to beneficiaries, or can remain in trust with the second trust taking over.  What happens is all dependent on the terms of the trust.

Estate--is husband or daughter more entitled?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the house was left to you ion the will, then you are entitled to the house.  However, you cannot disinherit your spouse.  A married person is entitled to claim an elective, or statutory, share of an estate. The share the surviving spouse can claim is about 1/3.  So, if your mother died leaving you the house, but nothing to her spouse, then her spouse can claim a portion of the estate but not the whole house.  The elective share is something that has to be affirmatively asserted in court, it is not automatic, and if the surviving spouse does not claim it, it is waived.
