Estate--is husband or daughter more entitled?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the house was left to you ion the will, then you are entitled to the house.  However, you cannot disinherit your spouse.  A married person is entitled to claim an elective, or statutory, share of an estate. The share the surviving spouse can claim is about 1/3.  So, if your mother died leaving you the house, but nothing to her spouse, then her spouse can claim a portion of the estate but not the whole house.  The elective share is something that has to be affirmatively asserted in court, it is not automatic, and if the surviving spouse does not claim it, it is waived.

I have a 5 year old quit claim deed, signed and notorized, but not yet recorded...Does Medicaid Look Back start on the date the deed was notarized...

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A deed has no legal effect until it is delivered.  Recording is the best evidence of recording.  If the recording date falls withing the 60 month Medicaid lookback period, the transfer might well be seen as a transfer for less than fair market value in an attempt to qualify for Medicaid. Please also note that in most states a quitclaim deed does not transfer title.  It is merely a public acknowledgement of an agreement to quit making whatever claim the maker may have to land, often to an easement over land.

My firends husband died recently and she has found out that he owes over $600,000 to various companies. For example, he had brorowed $ 10,000 from

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

She should probably hire an attorney to help her because there may be liens or other encumbrances on property that were done without her knowledge.  for the most part, she might be able to avoid paying the charges, and have her husband's estate declared to be "insolvent" and discharge the debt of the estate in a manner similar to a bankruptcy discharge.  The ability to do that is going to depend on what assets are in the estate, what things, if any she owned jointly, and the nature of the debt.
