Can I represent my deceased mother? How?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You likely have rights but the will needs to be reviewed by an attorney. An attorney can help you get a copy. See one ASAP because if things get distributed it will make it much harder. Most attorney's give free consultations so there is no downside to seeing one now.

What happens to the house if I die?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Your husband is earning a community property interest in the property now. If you transfer it to his name, you are asking for trouble and if you die first it is likely your husband will leave it to his children. I would SIT DOWN with an estate planning attorney, discuss your goals, your NEED to refinance and put a plan down in writing. Under no circumstances would I simply transfer the property to him. At James Law Group we make every effort to respond to you quickly and efficiently. This means we may be responding to you from a mobile device.

Are the children responsible for her debts and loans from her bank?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
Children are not responsible for the debts of parents in Florida ( except those which attach to land they inherit like a mortgage) in that case, the liability ends with the property.
