Will a life insurance policy taken out on me by my son be considered part of my estate.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
No - it would not be part of your estate because your son will be the owner of the policy.  However, in New Jersey, the person buying and paying for the policy has to have an insurable interest in the person they want to insure.  In some states you can buy and insurance policy on another person with out any relationship or interest, but in New Jersey there has to be an insurable interest.

Townhouse in my name only

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If you put your husband's name on the deed you can do it as joint tenants with right of survivoship.  That way the townshouse will pass to himautomoatically upon your deaht, and will pass to you automatically upon his death.  Without changing the deed, the property will not pass automatically to him on your death even though you are husband and wife.

Do I need to do anything at all after my widowed mother died last month?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
From your description, it appears that you need do nothing.  The creditor(s) can probate the estate if they see value in doing so.
