I want to know if you can remain anonymous when collecting Lottery Winnings in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can remain anonymous, however, the lottery winnings are taxed, and a tax paying entity must be identified.  It is my undesigning that you can establish a trust, obtain a tax payer identification number for the trust, and allow the trust to accept the lottery winnings.  The trust would then be taxed.

I own my home in Bergen County New Jersey. Can I pass ownership to my wife after I die using my deed? How is this done and does it avoid probate?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can pass the title to your wife after you die if you both own the property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.  It abbreviated JTWROS.  If a husband and wife own the property as JTWROS its as if together they own 100% of the property and if one dies, the survivor still owns 100%.  The property passes regardless of what the will says, and passes without probate.

Will a life insurance policy taken out on me by my son be considered part of my estate.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
No - it would not be part of your estate because your son will be the owner of the policy.  However, in New Jersey, the person buying and paying for the policy has to have an insurable interest in the person they want to insure.  In some states you can buy and insurance policy on another person with out any relationship or interest, but in New Jersey there has to be an insurable interest.
