What documents do I need to claim money from a trust?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Technically, you probably have to open a probate for your mother's estate which would then pay the money to the trust. You might be able to convince the foreign estate to skip the step of making the payment to the estate. If I were the lawyers for the aunt's estate, I would not advise the personal representative to pay to the trust because that doesn't protect the personal representative if someone claims your mother's will is invalid or if a creditor comes out of the woodwork.

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?

Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
A trust is the best way to do this. Two trusts can be used for even additional security. There are many things that go into this, but a trust is clearly the best planning tool to use. This should be set up by an estate planning attorney because your child's inheritance is literally at stake.

Do I have the right as a beneficiary/co-owner to attend the closing of the sale of real property that is the main asset of my mother's estate?

You should consult with an attorney knowledgeable about estate matters. You may not be allowed to sit in on the closing as an observer but even if you were you would not learn very much!
