Will a prenup help me to kick out future step parent from my parents house?We have a Will that leaves all to me and my brother.

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
In Texas a surviving spouse has a lifetime right of occupancy in the home.   Your father's Will may or may not say that he contracted with your mother not to revoke the Will in order to provide for her and for children of their marriage.  If it does not, he could Will the home to his new spouse.  You are correct that she could give up her right to a community property interest in the home in a valid prenup (or a valid Marital Property Agreement).  She would still have a lifetime right of occupancy and, if she paid on the mortgage or made other financial contributions, a right to be reimbursed for them.

How can we see the will?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
By statute in Nevada, she has 30 days to deposit the Will with the clerk of the court. A certified letter advising her of the same, retaining a copy would be a good first step. To file a petition to have her show cause why she has not filed the Will, will have a failing fee associated with it and probably three hours of attorney's fees. Thus an estimate of $1200 to $1500 would probably be in the ballpark.

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

What you can do with a will or trust or other estate planning belongs entirely to you. With a will, or a trust or other estate planning, your estate could be divided equally among your surviving children. Using the authority you have to punish or get even with one or more of your children may not be the best choice but it belongs to you. You cannot be put out of your own home. You need to consult an attorney about that immediately.
