If he will not write a will, is there anything I can do to protect my assets?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
The answer to this question depends on how you define "my assets." If you are referring to the assets you owned before you married your current husband, and those assets have not been commingled with his assets or re-titled in your joint names, then those assets are your separate property and are not subject to his estate plan or creditors. Utah has a default plan for those who do not execute a plan of their own, and in the case of mixed families, it rarely yields a result that the family would choose on their own. I strongly suggest you consult with an attorney who focuses on estate planning (rather than one who offers it as one of many diverse areas of practice) and determine what will happen to your husband's estate in the event of his passing.

Can the unsigned will be admissible in probate court?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Suggest you obtain the services of a probate lawyer to administer the estate, and an unsigned will, will not be allowed into the probate proceedings. Assuming the wife succeeded to the deceased husbands share of the estate, the rightful heirs are the wife's next of kin, which would be her sisters and brothers' or their issue if they are deceased.

Is $900 standard practice for an estate attorney and should we pay it?

Answered by attorney Carl C Silver (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Carl C. Silver Attorney at Law
There is no "standard practice" for something like this. It sounds very reasonable for what it appears the attorney will be getting himself involved in.
