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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
The probate process takes place in the state where the decedent was a resident. Where he died does not really matter. If his wife is still living, probate will probably not be necessary, as long as his wife has access to their assets.

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

Answered by attorney Phillip Gustavo Day (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Phillip Day, P.L.
No, you don't. You can leave everything you own to charity if you like or to your next door neighbor. However, I'm a firm believer of using estate planning as a way to reconcile if at all possible since death is so absolute and there is no way to ever take back things that are said once you pass away. I encourage all of my clients to use estate planning as a way to tell your kids that you are upset and that if things don't change, then there is no reason to change the plans. For example, you can choose to disinherit your one of your children, and leave small percentages to two others and the vast majority to the one that is kind to you. Then you invite your kids to thanksgiving and talk to them about your estate plans and have them read what was signed. Some will be very upset and may ask why. Many of my clients are surprised that they ask why and as I always tell them that most of the times family disputes are simply miscommunications and that one party sometimes doesn't even understand or is aware of the problem. If you can air out your issues while you are alive, it gives everyone a chance to talk and at least come to peace with your wishes. Otherwise you could die and they would be terribly confused and point their animosity towards their siblings who may have nothing to do with the original dispute. So to answer your question, you can do what you want, but instead of using your will as a sword to strike the last blow, I would try to use it as a way to open up a line of communication and telling them that you can change the will if family harmony and peace is possible.

How can I bring my mother home from the nursing home if my daughter had power of attorney revoked?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
Show the nursing home and any other relevant third party who might purchase your mother's property the revocation (It must be in writing, and your mother must have had legal capacity at the time she executed it). If your mother still has capacity, she can voice her own desire to leave with you. If your mother has lost capacity due to dementia or other mental deterioration, you may need to file for guardianship for her.
