Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If the account is joint, half passes to her estate.  If the account is joint with right of survivorship, all passes to the other person.

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.

Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The IRS has the ability to attach their tax lien to any property owned by the tax debtor. This means the IRS could execute the lien against the property and force a sale with the proceeds applied to pay off the tax lien. Even if the IRS did not force a sale the lien would have to be paid if the property were sold in a private sale and the lien paid off before the net proceeds are received by the owner.
