My partner died of cancer and a check from her disability insurance came payable to estate. there is no will or administrator.

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The first question to ask is whether or not she was entitled to this check from disability.  By this I mean, was she receiving monthly payments and this is another monthly payment?  And you are sure that disability is not going to say "Sorry - the check was sent in error before we knew she passed - pay it back?"  Becuase that happens sometimes.  Social Security and pension checks often arrived after the person has passed, and then are cashed or deposited, but then need to be paid back.  If the check you are talking about is not a monthly check, but is instead sometype of death benefit, then you will need to become the administrator of her estate.  Go to the surrogate's office of the county in which you live. The clerks there will be able to help you.  If you are in Monmouth or Ocean Counties and need further assistance, please feel free to call.

How can we administrate an estate when other heir’s will not renunciation their rite to administration.

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
As your probate lawyer can advise you, any heir can apply to the court to administer an estate.  Renunciation of a "rigt to administration" by another heir is not necessary.

My significant other of 10 years wants to leave me his home for $80,000 if he should pass away before me .How can we do this leagally?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You should see a lawyer to get a will drawn up.  He could make it so that the children get $80,000 and you get the house, or life rights to the house which ever he prefers.  The $80,000 could be a separate bequest, but you have to be careful about making you obligated to pay the children.
