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

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
A trust may provide that assets go to whomever the trustor intends, be it a spouse, charity, next of kin or an unrelated third person or entity. The only thing customary is that the trustor decides who is to receive his or her trust assets.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
If your father died without leaving a Will, his property would not pass to his girlfriend or to his brother. If either individual has taken items belonging to your father's estate, they could be found liable for the value of the property taken. If you believe that it would take legal action to correct the situation, you should understand that you would first need to establish your role as an heir of your father. Depending on the value of the property taken, and a whole lot of other factors, the cost of the process might just outweigh the value of the property that you're seeking.
