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

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Timothy Jones, PLLC
Wills are generally not valid unless they're signed. If the will is not handwritten, it also needs to have the signatures of two witnesses. The latest will that's been signed, and, if necessary, also has the signatures of witnesses, is the valid will.

How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

Roman Aminov
Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
That is a great question. You can specify in your will or trust that your spouse will get use of the assets when you pass away, but that after your spouse's passing, the assets will go to your child. In theory, your spouse can elect to take his spousal right of election of 1/3 of your estate, or $50,000, whichever is greater. You should speak to an estate planning attorney to discuss the best strategy forward.

How long do creditors have to make a claim against a deceased estate?

Sharon M. Siegel
Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel
Estate Planning lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
Technically, a creditor must file a claim with the Surrogate's Court within 7 months from issuance of letters. An Executor is also responsible for claims that he/she had reasonable notice of. The way of truly protecting yourself is to file a Voluntary Accounting on notice to anyone you have reasonable notice of and getting a decree from the court.
