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

Estate Planning lawyer at Gerald A. Bagazinski
This is a complex question because it can happen. Does the surviving spouse have any rights. Possibly. She may have a dower interest in any real estate owned by the husband she did not sign off on which was transferred to the trust or corporation during their marriage. A spouse may also be entitled to any 401(k) funds from a pension unless the spouse signed off on a transfer or change of beneficiary. Under Michigan law you have a spousal allowance, an exempt property allowance and a homestead allowance for all property required to be probated.

Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
The executor must give beneficiaries notice within 60 days of the probate of the Will. See Texas Probate Code 128A. However, the executor is not required to give this notice to a beneficiary who is to inherit less than $2,000 in property under the Will. Contact the county clerk in the appropriate county to see if the Will has been admitted to probate. If it has, and you are supposed to inherit $2,000 or more in property, then you should receive the required notice within 60 days.
