No will, but

[excalibur]

A person dies leaving no Will, none has been found anyway. The person had executed a living trust for a house but it was never quitclaimed into the trust. (Stupid, yes).

The deceased left no surviving spouse, never had children, no surviving brothers or sisters. Parents long deceased.

Question: In the absence of a Will, can or will the court accept the notarized living trust as the deceased's last wishes? I have seen and heard of writings other then a Will accepted. Is this the same?

My response:

Can you tell me why you deleted the State name question?

If it makes a difference, New York.

My response:

Of course it "makes a difference". Laws are different in each State, and Trusts are administered differently in each State.

So, please, from now on, when you start a new post, always include your State name.

Thanks.
