How can siblings in poverty avoid inheriting taxes & fees from middle class parents?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Under your limited facts, it is highly unlikely there would be any significant tax burden, when the estate is settled. There will be some income tax on the IRA, but that can be withheld at the time of distribution. There are also ways of treating the IRA that will minimize taxes, when the time comes. If you are receiving needs based government assistance, there is a chance that you would no longer be eligible, if you receive a significant inheritance. This would not necessarily be a problem, however, as you would no longer need the government assistance.

He absolutely has to have a will, or marry you, or the two of you need to own things jointly, with right of survivorship. Fiance is not a status that has any legal meaning for purposes of inheritance.

In Nevada all assets acquired during marriage with community funds are community property and would pass to you if he does not have a Will. If the has separate property, property he inherited from another or assets he owned before marriage, those would pass 1/3 to you and 2/3 to his children.
