How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

You can create a will that leaves everything to your child(ren) and name someone else to serve as trustee for any children who are still minors at the time of your death.

Do I need to do anything or will New York simply take the remaining $13,800 in her remaining checking account?

Joseph A Marra
Answered by attorney Joseph A Marra
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Offices of Joseph A. Marra, PLLC
I am sorry for your loss. If nothing is done then the funds will eventually escheat to the State of New York. It is unfortunate that all $300,000.00 was spend on nursing home care. With proper planning she could have gotten Medicaid benefits much earlier and at least $100,000.00 could have been preserved and passed to family members.

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

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Yes, the IRS will take the house. The most obvious way around this is to put the house in a trust, so your brother can live there but not own it.
