Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
"Customary" doesn't matter much; the maker of a trust can say what he or she wants to say in terms of who takes. The question is a little confusing, but I'm gathering that one child of the trust-maker has passed away, and the trust calls for distribution to the deceased child's children, rather than to the deceased child's spouse. In my experience, yes, that is the more common distribution, keeping the wealth in the lineal family descent. Marriage is a little too dicey these days for many people.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do. Is your father alive or dead? If he is dead, was there a Will? Are there other beneficiaries/heirs? Is anyone going to contest your appointment? If not, then you can certainly file to become personal representative. I have handled MANY estates where the PRs are from out of state. It is generally not difficult. If your father is still alive, is he competent? If not, then the only way to get control would be to go through probate and be appointed guardian/conservator. This is not complicated, but it can be expensive. Feel free to send me additional facts and I will try to provide you more information.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
The community property of your mother and father can be reached for the debt that your father incurred. When someone passes away, moreover, their estate is liable for their debts, and any property transferred without those debts being paid can still be reached by creditors to pay the debt, unless those debts are extinguished in a probate proceeding. It seems clear that any creditor of your father will be able to make a claim against the death benefits once they are received, and will be able to "follow" those benefits to whomever receives them. In any event, a person's estate does not pass automatically free and clear of any debts that person may have incurred.
