Can i exclude my future husband from my will as I own my house in NJ and it is in my name only and my 2 children from my previous husband. I want to l

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can exclude your future husband from your estate by doing a combination of a prenuptial agreement and a marital share waiver.  In the State of New Jersey you cannot disinherit your spouse, so if you just leave him out the will, he can claim his marital share which is one third of the augmented estate.  He cannot make that claim, however, if he has signed a waiver of that share. You can also use a prenuptial to agree that neither of you will take from the other's estate.  What you will need is his agreement or consent, and you will need to have that in writing to protect your children in the future.

If the house of a decedent is foreclosed upon by the bank, are the heirs responsible for any taxes or bills?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You have not stated whether your father's estate has been presented for probate.  The appointment of an executor or administrator delays foreclosure for six months.  If the lender then forecloses, it takes the property with all debts associated with it.
