Is probate lengthy or hard? Wouldn't it be good, to leave her checking account open so medicare and champus (sp?) can be auto-paid?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Probate is not that terrible. Besides, no probate is necessary if her total assets subject to probate are less than $150,000.

Irrev. LT. Amended can Tee enforce what clauses he chooses and what if clauses contradict each other?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The trustee is bound to enforce the whole trust. The amendment changes those sections it says it changes; if properly drafted it will say that the trust agreement, *to the extent not changed by the amendment, *is ratified and republished. So the trust agreement, as modified by the amendment, is the contract between the settlor and the trustee that the trustee must adhere to. Many trust agreements give the trustee discretion to do or not do certain things. That will be stated right in the agreement. It's a little hard to imagine how an irrevocable trust can have an amendment, since the right to amend the trust is tantamount to a right to revoke (if you amend the right way). Also, a true supplemental needs trust is only available under certain conditions, and can usually not be self-settled. If Medicaid is a possibility for the beneficiary, the trustee should get some good advice from counsel to make this work.

Does a will supersede a prenup?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The legal effect of the prenup takes ahead of the will; anything titled in his name, will go to his parents, assuming they are living at time of death, and if not then to his siblings.
