How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
There is not much you can do to control your ex-wife's assets. The minor child will be a forced heir until he or she reaches the age of 24, and would be entitled to a portion of her assets.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Yes creditors can collect after death. A will needs to be probated if there are sufficient assets to submit the estate to probate. In California that is $150,000 or more in gross assets. Another benefit to submitting an estate to probate is that it limits creditor's to 4 months in order to make a claim against the estate as long as they are given proper notice. I recommend probate be done through a lawyer.

Do we have to wait for my brother to sell my mothers home before reading the will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
No. The power of attorney ceases to have legal effect on your mother's death. He has no legal authority to do anything using the power of attorney. You should proceed to have the will probated and the personal representative (executor) can sell the home.
