How do I leave everything to my kids?

Answered by attorney Susan Goodkind Wideman (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
You may want to avoid using a will to divide up your estate since that goes through Probate and your spouse could assert an interest in the assets even though you left him out of the will. Rather you should consider a revocable living Trust or naming your children as beneficiaries on all of your assets. I would recommend you work with an attorney on this if it important to you.

I am divorc3ed with an adult child. I am in a committed relationship and am not certain how distribution of assets between partner and child

Lori Nevias
Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Estate Planning lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
You need a will, and probably a power of attorney and other estate planning documents. You need to decide how you want your assets and belongings to be distributed when you are gone and a last will and testament will ensure that happens. In the absence of a will, your partner will get nothing unless you have joint bank accounts or real estate held as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. In that case the share of the person who passes away first goes to the other joint tenant. You also need to make decisions about who you want to make health care and financial decisions for you if you cannot do so- your partner or your child. A power of attorney appoints a person (or persons) to make financial decisions and other non-medical decisions and tasks for you and is only valid while you are alive. A health care proxy appoints another person to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so. A living will is a useful document to give instructions to your health care proxy, or directly to a doctor or hospital if you are unable to do so.  If you married, whether or not you have a will, your spouse is entitled to the first $50,000 or one-third of your net assets, unless you sign a pre-nuptial agreement that specifies otherwise, as well as a car up to $25,000 in value, cash up to $20,000, personal belongings and clothing up to $20,000 in value, and books, records, photos up to $2,500 in value.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You are advised to seek probate counsel to assist you in the probate of the estate. Yes creditors can collect after death. Yes a will needs to be probated if there are assets in the estate; lastly, the will must be filed with the court within 30 days after death, in the county of the deceased principal residence.
