Is there a statute of limitations for an executor who is not fulfilling his duties?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
This question is a bit confusing. An executor who is not fulfilling his duties can be removed by filing a motion in the probate court handling the case detailing the reasons for the executor?s removal. The motion can be brought as long as the case has not been closed. If you are asking is there a statute that requires an executor to be removed for failure to perform his duties for some period, it works a little differently. The executor can not be removed for two years in order to give the executor time to get the estate together and figure out what to do. After that it is up to the beneficiaries to ask for removal if the executor is not working. If the question is whether a statute of limitations has passed to complain about the behavior, it depends on the specific behavior and the action you wish to take. For example, fraud actions can only be brought 2 years after the person becomes aware that they have been defrauded.

Will a prenup help me to kick out future step parent from my parents house?We have a Will that leaves all to me and my brother.

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
In Texas a surviving spouse has a lifetime right of occupancy in the home.   Your father's Will may or may not say that he contracted with your mother not to revoke the Will in order to provide for her and for children of their marriage.  If it does not, he could Will the home to his new spouse.  You are correct that she could give up her right to a community property interest in the home in a valid prenup (or a valid Marital Property Agreement).  She would still have a lifetime right of occupancy and, if she paid on the mortgage or made other financial contributions, a right to be reimbursed for them.

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

Answered by attorney Tres Andrew Porter (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Offices of Tres A. Porter
Absolutely not. However you should absolutely contact an estate planning attorney in your area as soon as possible. If you die without having a will, trust, or estate plan in place in California a portion of your estate will go equally to all of your children.
