Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

A simple will can be very inexpensive.  If you live in Ocean or Monmouth County, please call my office and I can help.  The cost of a simple will could be as low as $400 - $500.

Estate--is husband or daughter more entitled?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the house was left to you ion the will, then you are entitled to the house.  However, you cannot disinherit your spouse.  A married person is entitled to claim an elective, or statutory, share of an estate. The share the surviving spouse can claim is about 1/3.  So, if your mother died leaving you the house, but nothing to her spouse, then her spouse can claim a portion of the estate but not the whole house.  The elective share is something that has to be affirmatively asserted in court, it is not automatic, and if the surviving spouse does not claim it, it is waived.

Buying a house with in-laws, deed question

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You should definitely speak to someone about this transaction.  By putting the house in your name, you might be able to do some Medicaid planning, provided that your in-laws live in the house with you for at least two years prior to them needing Medicaid.  there is a section of the federal law that would allow for the house to be exempted, but it is a bit too complicated to explain here.  If you are in monmouth or Ocean counties, call my office.  Thoerwise,  look for someone who is a Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) who can explain the real estate, taxation, and Medicaid sides to this transaction.
