Is there anything I can do if my father left his girlfriend as sole benficiary?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
So, girlfriend is joint owner of all your father's accounts, or POD beneficiary, and beneficiary of IRAs and life insurance? Is she also a joint owner of the house, with right of survivorship? That last is important as she may be a joint owner as "tenant in common," in which case you inherit your dad's half. If there is nothing that is not jointly owned WROS, then there really isn't anything you can do except be nice to girlfriend and try to be in her will.

Can I be charged for withdrawing funds from a 401k?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jamie Corrine Clausen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Phinney Estate Law
Beneficiaries of 401K plans have two choices. If your son has not already elected to roll the money over into an inherited IRA, he should be able to take the money out of the plan in the first 5 years following your sister's death and pay not early withdrawal penalty. He will, however, then be required to take out all fund and pay all differed income taxes. If you son is still a minor and was named directly as a beneficiary (as opposed to the beneficiary being a custodial account or trust of which he is the beneficiary) there may be a problem with his receiving the money without a court ordered guardianship, court created trust, or blocked account. You should check with the company about what they will require and work with an attorney to have that set up so that it can receive the funds.

Can my siblings legally force me to sell an estate we jointly owned?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
It depends on the circumstances. Generally no, unless you do something wrong that creates the right to force a sale.
