Is tangible personal property included in probate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard Joseph Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
In Missouri, tangible personal property does go through probate. However, most of the time, the value of tangible personal property is low and is not worth litigating.

Who is the right person for a father's property?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
I am having trouble following your facts and your questions. If there is a Will or trust, then those documents would dictate who would receive the property upon the father's death. If not, and assuming the father is not married, then Michigan law would split it among all surviving children. If any child is predeceased, then his/her children would inherit the share he or she otherwise would have received.

Amending a living revocable trust

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald William Lyster (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Lyster, Inc.
Depends.  Many trusts will have a portion that becomes irrevocable on the death of the first spouse to die.  That part cannot be amended.  The part (or all, if that is how the trust is written) of the trust that remains revocable can be amended.  I've done it both ways - leaving the name "as is" or changing the name of the trust to the survivor's name.  If there are a significant number of assets in the trust, it is inconvenient to re-title those assets to a new trust, so sometimes it is just easier to keep the old name.  If you are at all unsure of this you really should consult with an attorney. There are a number of other matters that need to be done when a spouse passes away, and an attorney practicing in this area of the law will be able to help you through these matters as well.  It should cost considerably less than had your parents not done the trust.
