Probate Litigation Attorney Answers Urgent Estate Planning Questions
Probate Litigation Attorney Charles Triay
In a recent live interview, a probate attorney offered valuable tips and information that anyone with an aging relative needs to hear.
He’s also seen sudden changes to a long-established estate plan, one that originally left everything to all children equally.
“And then a week before mom dies, one of the kids gets her to sign a will that leaves everything to that one child and cuts out the other three,” he said.
Sometimes, family or non-family members (such as nurses or caretakers) will isolate the family member, ignore calls from the other relatives, and tell the family member that no one else cares enough to call or visit, so they should get the entire inheritance.
If the person has already died and the question of inheritance is in dispute, it will need to be handled in court by someone like Charles Triay.
“The best advice I can give is, do the estate planning early,” he said. “I know a lot of people are reluctant to write a will or a trust. But almost all of the contests involve documents that were prepared very late in life when there was some level of dementia or Alzheimers’ involved. If you want an estate plan that's going to stand up, get it done early.”
