Commonly Asked Estate Planning Questions From Users Near You

How do you shut off accounts that are in your spouse's name if they become incapacitated?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It depends on how the accounts are set up and whether or not you have estate planning documents in place. If you have a power of attorney in place, you would simply provide a copy of that to whoever you need to deal with and that should take care of everything. If you do not have a POA in place, hopefully, whoever you need to deal with will agree to work with you. If they do not, you may need to petition the probate court to become your wife's guardian and conservator. That is an expensive prospect and it is a major hassle, as well.

Does the land contract holder’s husband continue as it has been if she just passed away and I have 3 years to go to the commencement of my contract?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James Timothy Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
Your question is a bit unclear. I assume you are the buyer of real property on land contract and you have three years until a balloon payment is due to terminate the land contract.The seller of the property was a woman that recently passed. She was married. The land contract continues as before and whomever is her heir gets her interest in the land contract subject to your rights as buyer. Her heirs have the legal duty to provide you with a clear title once you make your balloon payment at the end so they have to continue to pay the underlying mortgage.

If the surviving spouse left a will would that be valid for both estates?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Once your mom died, her assets belonged to her heirs. You can't make a will for someone after they die. Your father may have been the heir (I don't know all the facts) but if his will is valid, he can dispose of his property any way he chooses.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
