Andre L asked:


(scenerio)
After Gee’s father died, his mother remarried;her 2nd husband legally adopted Gee. Three weeks later, the brother of Gee’s natural father died intestate. leaving no other surviving heirs. Gee wishes to claim his uncle’s estate. Is he entitled? Cite statutary aurthority from the state of Conn. If this same situation had occured in your state who would control it?

My father is a Bahamian citizen and an American resident. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and is living with me and my husband. He condition is not good and he wants to renew is will and testament since my mother passed. However, his health will not allow him to travel. Is there any way that he can update his will here in America and it still be valid in the Bahamas. I think they are under British Law.

I’m 36 years old. I have a wife and 2 daughters. Own a house..wife is also listed as the owner of the house. Have a joint banking account, wife and daughters are beneficiaries to my life insurance policy.
My question is: what is the difference if I die now with no will versus having a will?

Wonder Why asked:


Here are the following types of wills:
Last will and testament
Living Trust
Living Will
Power of Attorney

I’ve read so much and I still don’t understand. Here are the circumstances.
1) House paid off
2) 3 children over the age of 18 – none live at home
3) I have stocks/bonds/IRA/Retirement Account
4) Life Insurance
5) Paid off vehicles
6) I have no debt

I’m not married, but I want my house to go to my significant other as my children will inherit everything else.

Which one is best and why?

PS – I don’t want my children to come after my house that I’m going to leave to my signifiant other.

Tobias asked:


I have done some research on the subject but I cannot find any sources that seem entirely reliable, I know witnesses are required and all the jazz about everyone needing to be competent and willing, as well as who can and cannot be witnesses, executors, etc.
If you can direct me to a helpful, clear-cut website or a .gov or tx.us website that has this information then that would be excellent.

Otherwise my questions concern hand writing a Last Will and Testament, specifically:

Is it legal and binding if hand written and signed by the person and witnesses?
Are lawyers required in ANY part of the process?
Are executors required for legal wills?

Thanks for any help.

ok, here’s the deal:

my mother passed away last month. and there was speculation that she was leaving her home in san antonio, the one I grew up in, to my aunt’s grandkids. this strikes me as a little strange, i’m her only child, so i saked her about it.

she said why not? so she seemed aware of the decision, but i can’t help but think, that my aunt took advantage of her condition(she was diagnosed with dimentia, among other physical problems) and got her to sign some document.

we are still waiting(not sure why) for someone to pro-bate(?) the will. it’s been about 3 weeks.

i guess what i’m looking for are my options.

can i fight this, and get MY home back, or am i just f’d here?
CW, i undertans the base meaning of transfer of property, but your situation is a bit different as you had siblings with which to divide the estate, i don’t. and i fail to see what right a 5 year old, a 3 year old, and a newborn have to the home that i grew up in.
laughter….

her oldest(my uncle, who’s wife is some kind of lawyer), and her youngest(my aunt, who’s grandkids are getting this home)siblings are handling the will. we know one was made, but they are saying it’s being difficult to get it probated, or something. and unless i can find a lwyer to do it pro-bono, i doub’t i would have enough money to retain the services of a lawyer.

sizzouz asked:


My husband and I need to create a will and requests for our child care if something were to happen to us, as far as custody. We can’t afford to see a lawyer for a will at the moment, but I would like something in place. I know a written will might not stand up, since we can’t get it notarized.

So my question is, can we write a will, and video it with our wishes, for our will? Will it hold up in court if there was a dispute over who should get custody of our son in our absence?

Thanks for any help!
Oh really? I thought it was more expensive. Where would we go for that?

And my state is New York too.

Not that I will ever see a dime as this happened 1992, the attorney would not release original last will and testament signed by my maternal grandmother and my mother proceeded her in death.
The money left to my Uncle Arch Prado was dispersed to his adopted daughter after his death.

Danger Hot asked:


An ill man had leave a will and testament to give his $250m fortune to his dog, his childrens were furious and they said this happens because their father’s lawyer had brainwashed their ill father and make their father angry with them. Telling their father that not one of his childrens love him, unlike his dog who is always there for him.

Thats why the ill rich man leave his fortune to his dog with the power of attorney…

This is a clear brainwashing and manipulation of an ill person….but they cant get a proof of this, because the old ill man is dead already, and he cant speak for himself before he died…

Do you think the will should be honored?

my take on this is NO. I think that beneficiaries should always be the immidiate family, no matter what, and the government should have been keen on this to put a law that limits an animals inheritance…

you know what Im saying, this is no joke money $250m for the dog?????

I think there should be a limit, like $500,000 maximum for the dog, and the rest will go to the immidiate family, it doesnt matter if the deceased leaves a testament or not, for example the deceased had $250m and his will testament was to give it to the dog, but according to the law, only $500,000 is maximum…for an animal to inherit fortune…

so it means $249.5m should go to the children or brother, sister…relatives…

Do you agree or disagree?
