Can I get a living trust I agreed to dropped?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
I am sorry, your question does not make sense. It is unclear. Are you stating that you placed your home in a rust and now it is not an exempt asset? You may need to take the home out of the trust. There may be other reasons to keep the trust. You need to speak with an estate planning attorney who can help you address the issues.

Do I need to set up a tax ID to avoid getting taxed in spliting the financials to my siblings?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Christine Sabio Socrates (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christine Sabio Socrates Attorney at Law
If your father has already put your name on the bank accounts, then he has already made a gift to you. When your mother passes, nothing will happen since her name is no longer on these accounts. However, when your father passes away, you will be the sole owner of these accounts. You will not need to set up a tax ID since they will transfer to you automatically and will be legally yours. If you decide to share these funds with your siblings, you will be making a gift to them.

What are the duties of an executor and when do I get to see the will of the estate I just inherited?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Per Nevada law the Will is to be lodged with the District Court within 30 days of the Decedent's death. There is no specific duty to disseminate the Will to the interested persons until the probate is opened. You may order a copy from the Court once it is lodged, or you may wait until the probate is opened to receive a copy. The Personal Representative's duties are significant and set by statute. Much depends upon the assets in the estate, the total value of the Estate and what actions are required to be taken with regard to the same. The Personal Representative owes a duty not only to the beneficiaries but to the creditors as well. You may wish to review the statutes that address the duties set for in Chapter 12 of the Nevada revised statutes or discuss the same with an attorney.
