My question is if my wife is the sole remaindermen in a life estate or 1 of 4?

Damien Matthew Bosco
Answered by attorney Damien Matthew Bosco (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Damien Bosco, P.C.
Hello. My name is Damien. I am a Trusts & Estates attorney in New York City practicing in the New York City metropolitan area. Generally, in order to sell the property when there is a life estate, all of the life tenants and remaindermen have to agree to the sale. Yet, a remainderman could sell, assign or transfer his or her interest in the property, but the buyer would have to take the property subject to the rights of the life tenants and other remaindermen. In other words, in effect, if all the life tenants and some remaindermen agree to sell their share of the property, the remaindermen who did not sell their share would remain as property owners holding the property as tenants in common with the new buyer or buyers. So, it is possible to argue that a contract among the other parties to sell their share of the property remains valid while the remainderman who did not agree to sell her or his property interest would keep her or his property interest and become a tenant in common with the other buyer or buyers. If you need any assistance, a New York Trusts & Estates Attorney could help you. If you wish to speak on the phone about it, you can call Damien Bosco, P.C. at (646) 452-7082 or email me at DamienBoscoEsq@gmail.com

Where can I inquire about a last will and testament?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Donald Keith Broad (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Broad Law Firm, LLC
If you are a beneficiary or potential beneficiary, you can challenge the will but you will have to show that it was not proper under the law or that a more recent will exists. However, to show the latter, you will have to actually find the more recent will. There is no one place that wills can be found. You should check desks, file cabinets, bank safe deposit boxes, safes, and attorney's offices where you think the deceased may have done business.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
The asset will need to be probated. Unless you disclaim your interest by signing a disclaimer or sign a consent to alternate distribution whereby you agree he will receive your interest, you will receive interest in the home or estate, assuming there are two children. The percentage will change if there are more children.
