Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Yes, but there would not be any real advantage to doing this. It would also complicate your estate planning and could frustrate your objectives. One trust should satisfy all your planning objectives.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
The family members do not owe the debt personally, but the proceeds from his estate may be used to pay the debt. The answer depends on the nature of the death benefits his estate or family members are owed.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
No. You will need to petition to the probate court for an order the court will sign for her; however, in the petition you will want to request the court to assess fees and costs against her for an unreasonable refusal to agree to the sale and to charge her share of the sale proceeds for the fees and costs. The title company will want either her signature or a court order clearing your right to sell the property. Lastly, you could as a group , propose to purchase her share, but may have to pay a premium.
