Q: I have questions about living estates
My home is part of a living estate and I'm being threatened with eviction if my wife dies before me. The house was deeded to my wife, but it's to go to her living children on her demise. 2 of her living children are from a previous marriage and 1 child is my biological son, who lives with us. The 2 older children live outside the home. 1 of the older children is threatening to evict me as soon as her mother is pronounced dead.
A: Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local estate planning attorney that can review your and your wife's financial situation, the deed for the house and other documents, and then advise estate planning alternatives that can address the situation, such as wills, powers of attorney, living wills, etc., and suggest conversations to have with your children.
