Do I need to do anything at all after my widowed mother died last month?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
From your description, it appears that you need do nothing.  The creditor(s) can probate the estate if they see value in doing so.

What is the best way for a parent to leave assets to children without causing excessive tax due

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
There is no single "best" way.  A solution fo ryou would involve looking at all of your assets, long term care insuance, your family history and many other factors.  As a Certified Elder Law Attorney my goal is to make sure you have sufficient assets under your own control to pay for the care you need. Long term care doesn't "take" your assets - you have to pay for the care that you receive, and if your assets run out and you still need care, then the care wil be provided by Medicaid.  We can minimize taxation and/or take maximum advantage of tax credits by using credit shelter wills, and various types of trusts.

Can my brother sell my deceased mothers car?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It does not make him the sole heir of the vehicle.  He is entitled to be reimbursed for the payments that he made, but the remaining equity in the vehicle is an estate asset.  IF the car is sold, he should pay himself back what he paid, and then divide the remaining balance.
