Legal Answers
867 Questions Answered
- Q. I want to leave everything to my wife. But it is a large estate.....$30 million or so. Is it all tax free to her?
- A: I suggest you sit with an estate planning attorney as you may want to consider setting up a trust as well as other options. Texas does not have an inheritance tax; however the IRS does and that's where it can become complicated very quickly. Whether you are speaking of a few hundred thousand dollars or millions of dollars, I suggest sitting one on one with an experienced attorney to help you accomplish your wishes; please do not rely on the internet for your estate plan.
- Q. All of the heirs to my Father's estate are listed on the Will, but not as an executor, what does this mean?
- A: There is only one executor or co-executors and the heirs listed are most likely beneficiaries under the will. You will need to look carefully to see what section they are listed under.
- Q. Can anyone give me information on what to do about elder mother not able to live alone. I live in Tx
- A: Many of the counties have probate/guardianship courts that will send investigators out; however, I am not sure about the county your mom lives in. In this situation it is probably best to call APS.
