How do I leave everything to my kids?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Assuming you have little or no assets, and did not acquire any community property during the current marriage, your children of a prior marriage would be entitle to receive everything unless you have jointly owned assets of any kind held with your present wife, in which case she would survive to those assets. You could draw up a will or have one prepared to accomplish your objective.

Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
If the son to whom she wishes to leave property owes the IRS $30,000, in all probability they will assess a lien against the property and ultimately take it, sell it and apply the proceeds against the tax owed.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Yes - but title to the house can't be legally transferred (or sold) to anyone without a probate proceeding being commenced - and someone being appointed Personal Representative. The house may have to be sold to pay funeral, administrative and other expenses - leaving cash to be distributed to heirs - which it sounds as if both you and your brother are. So I'd advise you to consult with an attorney to learn more and protect your rights.
