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

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If your children are adults, you do not have to provide for them in your estate plan - you can leave your estate to whomever you choose; however, if you do not complete an estate plan during your lifetime, your children may be the statutory heirs of your estate. I recommend you consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your objectives.

Can I file a “Petition for removal” w/o lawyer help

Arthur Harold Geffen
Answered by attorney Arthur Harold Geffen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Dallas Estate Attorney
Yoou could try.  Depending on the county you are in, some county courts, which exercise probate jurisdiction, sometimes allow individuals who are not lawyers to represent themselves.  Probate courts in larger counties, like Dallas or Houson will not let a non lawyer represent themselves.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney Douglas A. Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Generally no, the family is not responsible, but assets remaining in father's estate might be, depending on value. The question discusses death benefit as if that is the only asset. If that is the case, the death benefit is not an asset of his estate and may not be assessable for payment of the father's debts. Also, if mother/wife or children signed any documents agreeing to be responsible for father's debts, then it would be those agreements, not the law, that would make them responsible.
