What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My parents reside n New York. They have a will which they will be updating. I am the daughter and I have a brother. My mom and I will be discussing points for her to take to the lawyer. My parents are 78. I can't go with them to the lawyers because I live in a different state and work full time.
My parents want to change the will to protect my brother's inheritance from him wife. As it has been my experience a number of times with Lawyers, sometimes you have to come prepared to ask questions, make suggestions, or simply see if things are possible to be done....
My parents want, when they pass, to have a bank account set up in my brother's name only and that I become the trustee and set up a stipend account for him. Also, I'm assuming that someone needs to be made beneficiary? Has anyone ever done something like this before?
I will be seeing my mom in a few weeks so I would like to share this with her and we will have a conference call with her Lawyer (my mom, myself and the lawyer).
Any advice, suggestions, etc.
