Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Michael Stafford
Insurance policies are governed by contract law and not probate law. The Insurance Company will pay the beneficiaries as listed in the policy and not those listed in the will.

How does one go about transferring assets from a trust?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
I would recommend that you get a lawyer's help with the administration of the trust. Have you filed all required tax returns? Have you paid all the creditors? Have you met all the statutory requirements for post mortem administration? Basic answer, yes, a Certification and Memorandum of Trust which meets the statutory criteria is all that anyone should need. However, convincing banks and brokerages (whose offices are usually in California, New York or elsewhere) is rarely worth the trouble. Half the time, we just give up a copy of the trust. It's their filing system that's going to have to hold an extra 40 pages.
