What if anything can we do to stop his stepfather from taking the house that was verbally given to him?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If it was purchased by mother and stepfather, they probably took it as tenants by the entirety. That is a survivorship estate in real property. When mother passed away, the house would belong to her joint tenant, stepfather (note that I am just guessing about how the property is held. You need to know what the state of the title is). Verbal promises regarding testamentary gifts are worth nothing. They are hearsay, and the only person who can say what she wanted was mother. If she did not make arrangements during her life to pass the house to her son, then she didn't. Son might have a "quantum meruit" claim for work done to the property.

How does a foster child of a family member inherit 50% of an estate held by two members of the family?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Foster children are not heirs. If the foster children were not legally adopted, they are not entitled to inherit by law. If there is a will or trust that leaves them some money, they should hire an attorney to make sure they get it.

Does a trust go into probate if it is just a transfer of stocks?

Answered by attorney Scott Pesetsky (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Scott Pesetsky
Transfer of trust assets is normally not supervised by the courts, unless there is disagreement, allegations of bad behavior, or other problems.
