Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
Wills have very specific execution requirements and a Will which is not signed will almost certainly not be admitted to probate.

Should I create a trust or will to leave my house to my cousin?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
If you would like your cousin to inherit your home if you pass on, you should have a living trust created and place your home within the trust so that your cousin can avoid the high costs and delays of probate. Also be inheriting your property, your cousin will be given a stepped up basis in your property and thus receive the most favorable tax treatment.

Yes, they can decline. The POA should have named a successor! Maybe the POA gives the appointed agent the right to designate a successor?
