Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
It is not a question of customary, it is a question of what the testator wanted to do. Perhaps he or she did not trust the spouse or felt that the spouse would be able to go on with his or her life and would not need the benefits of the trust. You may also talk to the trustee about whether the trustee can pay for certain necessities of the children while living with the spouse, e.g. mortgage, utilities, schooling.

Am I responsible for the bills that belonged to my deceased mother?

Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Answered by attorney Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
Your mother's estate is responsible for paying her debts. If there are insufficient assets in her estate to pay all of her debts, unless the debt is joint such as a co-signed loan, you have no personal obligation to pay for your mother's debts. Some creditors and collection agencies will imply that you as a relative have a legal obligation to pay; however, this is a collection tactic and is simply untrue. Where the estate is insolvent, Wisconsin Statutes section 859.25 specifies the priority in which debts and expenses are to be applied: 1. Costs and expenses of administering the estate. 2. Reasonable funeral and burial expenses. 3. Provisions for the family under certain limited circumstances. 4. Reasonable and necessary expenses of the last sickness, including compensation of persons attending your mother. 5. All debts and taxes owed to the government. 6. Wages due to employees earned within 3 months before the date of death. 7. Property assigned to a surviving spouse. 8. All other claims. You should explain to your mother's creditors that there are no assets in her estate available to pay and supply any documentation requested by the State of Wisconsin with regard to her nursing home care expenses.

Would having a possible credit card judgment pending affect her chances of getting the reverse mortgage?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The credit worthiness of the applicant will always affect loan qualification. This does not mean the loan cannot be obtained. It may be that the lender will want funds withdrawn under the reverse mortgage to pay off the credit card judgment.
