How do I leave everything to my kids?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
You are generally entitled to dispose of your separate assets (e.g. premarital or inherited) however you choose; however, in order to do so, it is advisable to create an estate plan that makes your wishes clear. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss your wishes in greater detail.

No. An Executor is a Fiduciary and owes a duty to the Court and the beneficiaries of the estate. The assets are not the executors to use.

How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
It depends entirely on how you are the beneficiary. Many bank accounts are created with their own beneficiary designations, and they are sometimes called payable on death or "POD" accounts. If that's what you're dealing with, all you should have to do is present the bank with proof of the death and your identity. If you mean that you're a beneficiary under a Will or Trust, the process gets quite a bit more involved and depends on many facts that you don't really spell out in your question.
