Neither. With a Living Trust. I have done countless thousands for precisely this reason!
I am a man in my late 60s and I want all of my death assets (money, house) to go to a trustee (my attorney's office) when I die. When my underage sons turns the age of majority, then I want him to control these assets.
Should I do a testamentary trust or a pour over will?

Does A Lawyer have to review it and at what cost?
answered on Apr 4, 2023
I would not trust a pre written generic living trust document. You should have it prepared by an experienced expert.
My late parents had assets in an irrevocable grantor trust. The beneficiaries are all in agreement, and wish to disolve the trust. How does one go about doing that? the trust holds some funds, a residential house, and a small interest in a commercial property. Thank you.
answered on Apr 4, 2023
I would want to see the terms of the trust. Generally, most terms would allow that with all the beneficiary's unanimous agreement, written and signed by them all, and presented to the Probate Court Judge, it would then be dissolved, as if it never existed.
I have a hand written contract signed by myself and the other party. The contract states I made a down payment of $2300 for concrete work on my property. The check was cashed and in the memo it states it's for a concrete patio. That was in may and no work has been done. I just keep getting... View More

How much cash are you out? If it is within the limits of small claims court, it would make sense to sue that way, YES.
I recently signed a lease for an apartment that was advertised as having "private roof deck". The posting went as far as including staged photos of said roof-deck furnished with patio furniture.
The roof has only one entrance through a door inside the apartment.

Landlord is breaching the contract. You have right to roof deck, even if it means taking him to court!
the relatives left behind are a 23 year old daughter, 16 year old son, and 13 year old girl. No spouse exists.

It will definitely go to Probate Court. There a judge will make the final decision. With only one adult child, the judge will rely heavily on that child and any wishes expressed by the deceased.
I have noted in writing and in person that I will not and cannot use this warranty, I dont keep my car for longer than 2-3 years and will never use it.

I would absolutely refuse the demand and contact the Attorney General's Consumer Fraud division for immediate assistance!
The fourth heir wants to put house on market to see if a bidding war would happen to maybe get a few thousand more as where the other three are willing to take the garunteed cash offer at apprised value. Can the executor accept the cash offer or do all have to be in agreement
answered on Sep 1, 2021
What does the will say? Does it require unanimity? If not, then Executor may decide to proceed.
I’m being told that my cousins have rights to this house. My mother was the youngest of seven children and has died but now I’m being told that the house has to be divided among my cousins.

What exactly do you mean by "I have the deed"? Is the deed in your name? Did a transfer deed into your name ever get recorded or even written? Merely having possession of the piece of paper (the deed) does not give you possession of the property, even if it was given to you with that... View More
IRA value $700K. Can Inherited IRA live in trust with distributions to children's accounts? What/who is taxed?
answered on Aug 25, 2021
Yes, definitely the Revocable Trust can be the beneficiary of the IRA. And the Trust can then distribute proceeds, per the terms of the Trust, to the children. Taxes on the IRA would normally be paid by the IRA at the time of distribution to the Trust.
What is a typical payment arrangement? I assume no payment is necessary until the agent actually begins carrying out his duties. Is the payment arrangement something that should be spelled out in the power of attorney document?
answered on Jul 27, 2021
Do not use an attorney. No reason to spend that money. Anyone you trust who has reasonable acumen, can perform the task. If you wish to pay anyone, yes, be sue to spell it out.
answered on Jun 15, 2021
Living Trusts are not filed. You may do so if you choose, but most folks do not file (record) them but instead keep them private. Should you choose to record it, it is done as your local County Recorder's Office, where deeds are recorded.

Family member A has Family member B as beneficiary in their will. Family member A's financial advisor has Family member C as beneficiary. What entity take precedence upon death of Family member A's death?
answered on Jan 13, 2021
Which disposition is the most recent? The will can supersede the prior order, but it can also be superseded by a subsequent change.
