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

Edwin George Fee
Answered by attorney Edwin George Fee (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston L.L.P.
Assuming all of the children are adults, you don't have to leave anything to them. A minor child is entitled to receive $2,500 from a parent's estate.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
You and your other siblings can refuse to accept your shares of that part of your mother's estate if the estate is still open. Or you can sell your shares to your brother.

Don't I have the right to know about my children's trust fund?

Answered by attorney Isaac David Shutt (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
I don't think there's a cut-and-dry answer to your question, especially without more information. As the mother of his children, it's saddening that he is being secretive with regard to the trust. If the children are minors, as their legal guardian, you may be able to demand an accounting of the trust on your children's behalf. However, some trusts are written in such a way that the trustee does not have to provide an accounting at the beneficiaries' request. It just depends on the wording of the trust. I think you'll have a particularly difficult time if the trust is a Revocable Trust. If you think action needs to be taken to protect the rights of the children under the trust, then you should contact an attorney in your area to see if you can get some movement.
