Is a deed change necessary?

Rudolf Jon Karvay
Answered by attorney Rudolf Jon Karvay (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Berkman, Henoch, Peterson Peddy, P.C.
More information regarding how title to the property is held is needed in order to accurately answer your question. For example, if title was held "as husband and wife", which is called a tenancy by the entirety, then a deed may not be necessary because title passed to you automatically upon your wife's death. On the other hand, if title was held as tenants-in-common, then a deed may be necessary to transfer her interest to you.

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Your bro-in-law is not executor until appointed by a court. By now he should have filed a petition for probate and you should have gotten notice. Fr died in June. It is his job to marshal the assets. What reason do you have for entrance into the house, other than to take things? If you have a valid reason, then explain it and arrange to go there for the legitimate purposes.

Is it necessary to have an attorney to do last will and testament?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James Timothy Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
It is not necessary to have an attorney do a will. However, self help wills and fill in the blank wills are fraught with issues. ... do it wrong and her assets could be tied up in probate for a long time.. The question is what does she want.. and does she actually need a will By LAW her assets are distributed to her spouse if living (50% if she has a children with another father), the rest to her children in equal amounts .. then to their kids, etc.So she may not need a will if she does not object to this distribution.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
