What do we need to do if his wife and I want me to be able to talk to the people he owed money to?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
The wife should do it but if she cannot, she can sign a Power of Attorney to have you act on her behalf to discuss/negotiate debt.

What is the right of inheritance of an adopted child who has been omitted from a will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kenneth A Prigmore (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Prigmore Law
Dear Sir, My first concern is your location. Your question has been posted in the Utah, USA section of Q &A, which is my state of practice. If your father was not in Utah at the time of his death, and owns no property in Utah, I do not believe Utah law will have any effect on his will or his testamentary estate. If I have described your father's situation correctly, you will need to talk to an attorney licensed to practice where your father passed on, or where he owns property, or both. If your father owned property in Utah or died here, I can help you. The details of the will are important, so you need to get a copy if you do not have one. If your father named you as the recipient of a specific gift, you have a right to that gift. If he gave one part to his wife and one part to his "children", in Utah, adopted children are included in this gift. If you were adopted after the will was written, you might argue that your father intended to include you but had not had the opportunity to do so. Normally, if a wife is left out of a will and her husband has children that are not her own, the wife has the right in Utah to demand a "elective" share (approximately one third of the estate). Children do not have this same right. If you think your father intended to give you something, but failed, or that his wife has failed to pay you what is owed you under the terms of a will, I recommend that you meet with an attorney.

Legal aliens with no will. what will happen to estate?

Stephen Marc Drucker
Answered by attorney Stephen Marc Drucker (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Legal Action Workshop Professional Corporation
The best way to assure that assets will go to you and/or children if your spouse passes is to have a Will, Trust (if you have real estate in CA) and the Powers of Attorney prepared for you.  An experienced attorney can explain your legal rights and options. If you have bank accounts, they can be joint or have you as beneficiary should your spouse pass.  If you have property, both names could be on the deed as 'joint tenants'--if he passes then the property would go to you.
