Does spouse have right to siblings half of joint house?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
It depends upon what the will or trust says as to who gets it if she dies first. It rarely goes to a spouse but if the will or trust says it does, that would be what happens. If the document is silent it will either go to your sister's children or you but it is impossible to say without reviewing the document.

How long can an estate executor take to pay a beneficiary?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
My suggestion would be to check with the Probate Division of the Circuit Court for the County in Missouri that your husband's mother was living in at the time of her death. When the estate was opened in that court any records found or generated become public. You can certainly go into the clerk's office and look at the estate file to see exactly what's been done. Was there a will? Were there assets actually subject to probate? It could be that the assets were in trust and were not part of a probate estate - in this case you need to check with the trustee of that trust. It's also possible that at some point your husband's mother signed a beneficiary deed which would pass title to the condo automatically to the beneficiary at the time of her death. For this, you can check the Recorder of Deeds office for the county where the condominium is located.

Will Adult Children Have to Pay Mom's Nursing Home Costs and how to avoid having to pay off that bill?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Norman E. Reitz
Children are not legally responsible to pay for the care of their parents. Medi-cal is the provider of last resort once the parent's resources are exhausted. There is the moral imperiative under the 5 th commandment to honor our fathers and mothers. Jesus said that the Jewish excuse of Corban - $ given all to the temple - was no excuse.
