Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
No, you do not need to leave anything to any of your children. However, you must mention them in your will. Therefore, for example, "I have four children, namely A, B, C, and D. I give my entire estate to E and F." If you want, you could even throw in, "I give nothing to my issue." Don't put in your reasons.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
It is not clear if the deceased's spouse was alive at his death. If she was alive at his death and she was omitted from the trust for whatever reason she would have the right to elect to take against the estate but the election must be made rapidly. If an estate was opened in the probate division of the circuit court (if the trust was contained in a will this would be the case). That election would have to be made within six months of the grant of Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. If the spouse has since died at the very least an estate should be opened for her. The heirs of the wife need to hire counsel to protect their rights.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
No, probate is not automatic. Venue is appropriate in the state where the decedent was domiciled at the time of death. There can be issues in determining which state that is. Once that has been clarified, an interested party files an application or petition for probate. If your father died in another state and there are no assets there, you can open probate in Michigan, in the county where there are assets. If he was married, the wife would have priority for appointment as personal representative. Feel free to visit my website. I have a detailed description of the probate process posted there. I am very sorry for your loss.
