How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
In order to deal with real estate of a decedent you must open a probate case and have the court appointed representative deed the property. It may be possible to work with a title insurance company and insure over the title defect with the filing of a death certificate, an affidavit of heir-ship and a deed signed by all heirs. There is likely to be an additional endorsement fee beyond the usual charges and a personal undertaking (indemnification) that the heirs must sign. This will not cure the title defect but it may induce the title company to assume the risks if they are comfortable with the heir-ship proof.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If your children are adults, you do not have to provide for them in your estate plan - you can leave your estate to whomever you choose; however, if you do not complete an estate plan during your lifetime, your children may be the statutory heirs of your estate. I recommend you consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your objectives.

Is there a statute of limitations for an executor who is not fulfilling his duties?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
This question is a bit confusing. An executor who is not fulfilling his duties can be removed by filing a motion in the probate court handling the case detailing the reasons for the executor?s removal. The motion can be brought as long as the case has not been closed. If you are asking is there a statute that requires an executor to be removed for failure to perform his duties for some period, it works a little differently. The executor can not be removed for two years in order to give the executor time to get the estate together and figure out what to do. After that it is up to the beneficiaries to ask for removal if the executor is not working. If the question is whether a statute of limitations has passed to complain about the behavior, it depends on the specific behavior and the action you wish to take. For example, fraud actions can only be brought 2 years after the person becomes aware that they have been defrauded.
