Does the youngest son get any real estate after death?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
That would depend on what you will him. If you don't have a will he would be one of your heirs at law.

Can rights to an inheritance be relinquished after the fact?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Tell them to take out the estate language or to clarify that Person X will not participate in any wrongful death proceeds paid to the estate. Generally, a wrongful death claim is a claim of the estate, not the children. Therefore, when the claim is paid, if it is, then the estate will get it. If you don't want the proceeds, then you have to give up your rights to that portion of the estate.

Can my spouse do what he wants with our marital assets without my consent?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you live in Oregon, spouses can own property separately. Most spouses own essentially everything as joint tenants with right of survivorship. If you do not join in the transfer of these assets to a trust (for real property, don't sign a deed; for bank and brokerage accounts, if he withdraws all your money from joint accounts and puts it in trust, file for divorce) then, no. But if you don't act, and allow him to move all the assets to his control, then you lose. Do you have income separate from his? Put it in a bank account in your sole name. Frankly, if he is trying to do these things without your knowledge and consent, you need a family law attorney, not an estate planner.
