Q: How can I enforce my daughter paying money she owes me and have it go to my residue estate
This is money from an inheritance from my father to me. At the rate of $200 per month for life. My daughter is currently 3 months behind. I want that money to go to my residual estate if still behind at my death
A:
You can always write a will such that the debt is owed, and needs to be paid, but the details of how to do that go beyond the scope of a forum like this and would require an examination of your WHOLE estate situation to insure things are done properly and in a way that provides the best guarantees things will happen as expected.
You should seek local guidance from a licensed estate planning attorney to insure things are done right! You can use the 'find a lawyer' tab here to search for someone nearby.
