Do I have to sign anything at all?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, you can refuse to sign. But something has to be done; either the estate is administered and you get half of the house (or proceeds of sale of the house)[assuming only two siblings, no spouse] or else you disclaim your inheritance and your brother gets it all. If you won't disclaim, and you won't accept your half, then the estate administrator will have to turn your half over to the Division of State Lands, I suppose.

How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Go back to your family law lawyer to obtain a modification your divorce decree, to obtain your former husband's agreement, to set up an estate plan, (trust), with your daughter named as beneficiary of his estate. If your husband does nothing, i.e no will or trust, no estate plan, then his estate goes to your daughter, except the acquisitions during his second marriage. A policy of insurance on his life for the value of the assets in question may be a solution.
