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

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No you do not have to leave something to each child. Some attorneys would suggest you do to avoid a contest. I strongly recommend working with an attorney who can completely and accurately address the reasons WHY are are disinheriting a child in your will or trust in order to help defend against any contest.

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

Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Answered by attorney Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
If your parents reside in a community property state, or in a marital property state, then your mother would likely be held responsible for any debts your father incurred during marriage. Note that there are rare exceptions to this rule, and your mother may wish to consult with an attorney regarding her options. On the other hand, your father's children would likely not be held responsible for his debts, unless they entered into some type of personal guarantee.

Can my sister purchase our parents property in estate that has not been probated without my knowledge and then sell it without my knowledge

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
First, your father's estate must be probated by a Court heirship proceeding, small estate affidavit or Affidavit of Heirship, passing his interest to your mother (if all his children are her children). Second, if your mother lacked legal capacity to contract when she "sold" the lots to your sister, report elder exploitation to Adult Protective Services. Third, if the person who purchased from your sister did not know all this, your remedy is to sue your sister for the money she got from selling the lots. You may be eligible for free representation through Volunteer Legal Services or discounted representation through the Modest Means program of Lawyer Referral Service in your area or through a clinic at a nearby law school.
