Does she have any legal claim to an inheritance since she no longer bears his name?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
Yes, she can still inherit from him, because she is still his adopted daughter, regardless of her name change. (Similarly, she could have gotten married and taken her husband's name without giving up her inheritance). Whether she as any legal claim to an inheritance depends on what your grandfather's will or trust says.

Does a trust trump an existing pre-nuptial agreement?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
First, you really need to speak directly to another attorney and deal with this specifically - a question and answer forum is ill-equipped to deal with this type of situation, especially not having seen the documents. That said, if the trust is dated AFTER the pre-nup, your mother made a new contract with her husband and if the trust leaves him certain things, he will likely be entitled to them under that trust. That does not mean you don't have rights so have a competent attorney look at the documents and advise you.

Can my brother as the sole beneficiary take all the money from my father's estate even if there was no will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If your father left no will, how is your brother the "sole beneficiary"? The way you make someone the "beneficiary of the family estate" is to leave a will. Otherwise, children inherit equally. Did he name your brother as a "payable on death" beneficiary of all his accounts? You need to see a lawyer.
