hi tm,
i guess the reason i was asking is because it would be a way to do what the op wants to do. have you ever come across a trust in which someone else was selected, to decide who to give the assets to ?
if the aunt had let the brother (op's dad) make his selection, he could have chosen...
hi tm,
this brings up an interesting thought that i had never thought about, before. what if my trust stated "john smith is to decide how the assets of this trust is to be distributed. if john smith is deceased, then jane doe shall decide."
i have no idea how trust law would work with this...
i thought the op stated that the first trust had been revoked ? if so, it is no longer a legal entity. not to say that the bank would ever find out about it. but you ought to find out what is the correct way to handle the problem.
it is not the law's job to determine selfishness, or try to regulate it. nor would we want it to be. that is a huge overreach.
if you were disinherited by both your dad and your mom, why would it matter ?
also, your dad's will, if he had one, would have gone into effect in 2007, when he...
this is why i made the comment about lawyers trying to find wiggle room for their clients. this is what you have done on this thread, and continue to do. you point out other possibilities. and i am simply pointing out that your possibilities have low probabilities. my single conclusion has a...
tm,
i am thinking with my head. i am gonna repeat this once more. the father said he had no children. and then if his gf died, everything went to the gf's child. that raises an extreme amount of suspicion. if the father had really desired to omit his son, he made a huge mistake. any...
if you look at the average age of people when they die, and the average age of those children, then those children are over 40 when both parents are dead. you see, i do have the statistics. it took only a little bit of brain power to come up with it. maybe you should use some. it was not a...
okay, but my suspicions are usually correct. in this case, i stand by them.
as a lawyer, it is your job to try to find excuses for everything, so you can wiggle your client out of trouble
quincy and i just look at the facts, and understand the likelihood of things
and i will leave the...
tm,
i am not making any statement about the difficulty of winning the case. but i think it merits a review, cuz the likelihood of foul play is high. that is my point. and i think quincy's point, as well.
i have a suspicion that the op has a better chance though, than others on this site are...
did you actually read what he said. if the girlfriend dies first, everything goes to HER CHILD.
it is uncommon for a person to exclude his 40+ year old child. just how in the hell old do you think most children are, when they inherit ? they are probably older than 40 when their parents are...
hi tm,
i dont know much about actual court cases, so i wont argue with you on what would happen. only on what should happen, and what would happen if i was judge.
it isnt just about who gets stuff. it is also about who doesnt get stuff. let me repeat - THERE IS A HUGE RED FLAG WAVING - the...
hi zig,
whether the influence could be considered illegal or not - is up for grabs
so let me rephrase it, and say improper influence
no parent that i have ever heard of would ever question age, when answering "if they had children"
and you wont find his answer on the internet, either
i...
i have never heard of someone not thinking their children are their children because they are over some age limit
i stand by my statement
i suspect one of these 2 - the son and father were not on good terms, or the girlfriend had undue influence on the will
i agree with quincy - something does not seem right
what parent doesnt consider their children, their children (no matter what their ages) ?
if the father and son were on good terms, why werent his and her children considered at least equally ?
i suspect one of these 2 - the son and father...
well, i would take you to court on it !!
if the grantor is the only one who can revoke the trust, and call it all back - the grantor cant transfer the rights to someone else
when you die, is when the trust really comes into effect
as long as you retain control (i.e. being able to revoke it)...
