What happens to my brother's share if he passed before distribution?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
It depends on how long after your parents died that your brother died and if your parents wills addressed that. Also, if your brother died without a will and he had a spouse, some part of his estate will go to his spouse so it depends on the intestacy statute in your state. In Delaware, spouse gets a life estate in real estate and a percentage of other assets if children are not children of both spouses.

I had a will made out and I put one of my daughter's middle name on it instead of her maiden last would that make a different?

Answered by attorney Phillip Gustavo Day (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Phillip Day, P.L.
No. It is common for women to change their name so it is not unusual to have the will state one name. So long as your daughter can establish the relationship, there should not be a problem.

Could I track the money that a power of attorney spent of an estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald K. Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Since the person is deceased, you don't have any legal reason to check the spending that was done under a power of attorney. It was his money and you don't have any right to snoop into how he or his power of attorney spent his money. The way to find out if there is an inheritance is to file his probate. Then your sister will have to provide the detail of all the money spend and received since his death. Being the executor in probate also gives you the authority to check his social security account.
