Red Bank, NJ asked in Child Custody, Child Support, Estate Planning and Family Law for New Jersey

Q: My parents have temporary custody/guardianship of my kids. Does their estate first benefit the minors in their custody?

My Parents have my 4 kids. Temp guardianship. For financial reasons they don't want to help set me up w a home big enough to fit me and the kids so they stuck me in a dumpy apartment and took my kids by them. They fully support them. Private school camp tutors the whole nine yards. My question is. Do the lifestyle/needs of the minors ( my kids) in their custody supersede their will ?

A: More information is needed to determine how the assets would pass. I suggest you set up an appointment with a lawyer. Unfortunately no simple answer exists so a lawyer would need to go over with you several senarios. Expect to pay for the lawyerrs time and advice.
