Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If your children are adults, you do not have to provide for them in your estate plan - you can leave your estate to whomever you choose; however, if you do not complete an estate plan during your lifetime, your children may be the statutory heirs of your estate. I recommend you consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your objectives.

Am I obligated to finalize the transaction to sell part of the land I inherited?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
This is a tricky question. The answer depends on a few things. First, did the buyer pay any kind of earnest money for the property to your relative? If the answer is yes, and that buyer executed and filed a deed, the buyer may have technically owned the land before you inherited it, meaning that you essentially inherited nothing. If the answer is no, the terms of the sales agreement prevail. My strongest recommendation is to consult with a local attorney who is familiar with real estate and estate planning law as soon as possible to find out what your rights and obligations are.

I was with my man for 14 years he just passed away am I entitled to anything?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
If you are not married, then only if he left you something in his will. If he did not, then you are probably not entitled to anything.
