- Q. I have my trust drafted. What are the next steps? Record it at the court house? What does the bank need for and account?
- A: Who draftees your trust? Was the property transferred to the trust? How was it funded? Your lawyer should walk you step by step through the next steps it’s really strange that you are asking these questions if you have a lawyer and if you don’t how did you fund the trust? As without funding trust is useless.
Please call my office 718-333-2394 after 9 am and we can explain more. Trust is not a will it doesn’t get filed in court so something is off in this scenario
- Q. My parent passed away (no siblings, only child) and left a will. Trying to manage estate matters with one major issue.
- A: You will definitely need a lawyer on this one. It's a complex NY Probate matter. What are the assets of the estate? Makes me very sad that people didn't do a Trust instead of a will. Also, you could have filed for ADMINISTRAITON without a will and avoided all the headache alltogether - that's one reason to consult with attorney before you file.
- Q. I found old will dated 2001 but a newer will was filed into probate in 2016 What do I do?
- A: None. New will governs, old will is pretty irrelevant unless his other heirs want to contest the estate.
