Is there a law regarding all beneficiaries to be present when revising living wills?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No you were not entitled to be present. That said if you think there was undue influence or lack of capacity contact an attorney ASAP. You have a limited time to try and correct this so don't wait.

If my wife and I die due to accident, who receives the estate and beneficiary?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Without a will, you will each be deemed to have predeceased the other, so your estates will go to your heirs. Assuming there are no other children, they would probably be divided 3 ways with your children. Life insurance is a different matter. If you want some of your estate to go to charity or somebody else, you will need to make a will to provide for that.

How do I add my children’s names to the title of my house?

Michael Charles Doland
Answered by attorney Michael Charles Doland (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Doland & Fraade
The answer will depend to some extent on what you want to accomplish. The procedure is a deed from you to you and your children. The question of 1) "as tenants in common" 2) 'as joint tenants" or other alternatives is why an interview with an attorney is advisable.
