Probate Court Requirements for am administrator

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Does your brother own property or have bank accounts in the USA?  And no one, not his spouse or anyone else, is a joint owner, or otherwise has any legally rights to those accounts?  If that is the case, in order to become the administrator, everyone else who has a right to serve as administrator has to renounce their right to serve.  Then you take the renunciations and file it with the county surrogate along with the application to become the adminstrator.  this would all take place in the county in which your brother lived.

What is the best way for a parent to leave assets to children without causing excessive tax due

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
There is no single "best" way.  A solution fo ryou would involve looking at all of your assets, long term care insuance, your family history and many other factors.  As a Certified Elder Law Attorney my goal is to make sure you have sufficient assets under your own control to pay for the care you need. Long term care doesn't "take" your assets - you have to pay for the care that you receive, and if your assets run out and you still need care, then the care wil be provided by Medicaid.  We can minimize taxation and/or take maximum advantage of tax credits by using credit shelter wills, and various types of trusts.

I have a 5 year old quit claim deed, signed and notorized, but not yet recorded...Does Medicaid Look Back start on the date the deed was notarized...

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A deed has no legal effect until it is delivered.  Recording is the best evidence of recording.  If the recording date falls withing the 60 month Medicaid lookback period, the transfer might well be seen as a transfer for less than fair market value in an attempt to qualify for Medicaid. Please also note that in most states a quitclaim deed does not transfer title.  It is merely a public acknowledgement of an agreement to quit making whatever claim the maker may have to land, often to an easement over land.
