Your grandfather should have his trust reviewed and maybe have an amendment to the trust to exclude her, particularly if they marry; marriages can void trusts; so be careful and obtain good estate planning legal advice from an attorney in the area; and watch out for changes in his power of attorney, advance healthcare directives, changes to his bank accounts, etc., life insurance change beneficiary changes, beneficiary changes in his other accounts.

Can I get my inheritance sooner if I’m under hardship?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
If you object to the activity or the lack of activity by the executor then you may need a lawyer. Distribution out of the estate must be made proportionately to all heirs at the same time. The payment to one heir should not be advanced over the payment due other heirs. Partial distributions to all the heirs are possible. Final Distribution should not be made until after the statutory claim period has expired and after all assets are collected and liquidated, if appropriate. If your distribution under the terms of the Will are to be made to you outright on the death of your grandfather, with no provision for postponement of possession then the executor has the discretion to make a partial distribution to you and the other heirs to assist you in dealing with your hardship. If your distribution is subject to a provision of postponement of possession the executor must follow such terms. The terms of the Will or trust set the rules as to when and how your share of the estate can be delivered.

Could the nursing home take my mother's cash money or can I move it before placing my mother there?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If your Mom needs the care, she has to pay for it we have no national health system. Moving her money or hiding it would constitute fraud. So, yes, she'll have to pay down her cash, sell her house, and continue to pay for care. It is possible that if you lived with your mother in her home and cared with her, you might be able to save the home and still have her qualify for Medicaid. See an elder law attorney about paying for long-term care.
