Is my mom entitled to everything that used to belong to my dad, including the money he asked me to keep in my bank account?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the money in the account is in your name, then it is not part of the estate.  Ther eis something called an "account of convenience" where someone adds a name to an account to make it more convenient to write checks.  However, if the account is solely in your name, I don't see how your mother can make a claim to it.

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.

What makes up the net value of an estate. Is it only the monies that enter in and out of the estate account

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
For estate tax purposes, this amount would be included in the estate value.  the exemption in New Jersey is any amount  under the total of $675,000.  If the estate is over that amount, estate taxes are due.
