After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Michael C Hyde
Answered by attorney Michael C Hyde (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Office of Michael Hyde PLLC
Once a parents rights are terminated that also terminates the child's rights to inherit under the intestate laws of the state. However, a parent can make the child an heir under a Will.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Somebody needs to apply for probate. In this case, it would probably be his wife and it would be started where he died. However, you say temporarily. Was he on vacation or was it an extended stay? Did he tell you it was temporary so you wouldn't get mad? Regardless, if he really live in your state, I suppose you could open up a probate there, but eventually someone will win the battle of the probate forums. If the wife opens in the other state, she can then use that to open a probate in your state to handle his property there. You need to talk with an attorney and his wife and figure out the best way to proceed.

Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

Daniel J. Pingelton
Answered by attorney Daniel J. Pingelton
Estate Planning lawyer at The Pingelton Law Firm
It's probably the most common pattern, but it all depends on what the person who created the trust desired. Unfortunately, sometimes a person will just follow a form pattern without someone explaining exactly what is happening. Hopefully that did not happen here. A spouse might be provided for it, for example, the person creating the trust was very close to him/her, and wanted the spouse to receive something regardless of whether she remained married to the descendant.
