It depends on how the will was written. There may be a survivorship clause. This would indicate that someone had to survive the deceased by a certain number of days in order to inherit. It was intended to avoid having estate monies going through probate twice in one years.
You have to have the rights in the property before you can sell them. Being a named beneficiary does not give you the right to transfer title, though you could quit claim your rights.
The beneficiary's share goes into their own estate.
Their share goes into their estate.
The person named as the executor of a will does not need the signature of siblings to perform this function UNLESS they too are named as executors in which case the signatures of ALL the executors are required to dispose of the estate.
If a beneficiary named in a will dies before the testator, the treatment of their share depends on the will's provisions and state law. If the will includes a substitution clause, the share may pass to a contingent beneficiary or the deceased beneficiary's heirs. If there are no such provisions, the share may be distributed according to the laws of intestacy, potentially leading to a redistribution among other beneficiaries or the estate. It's essential to consult legal advice to understand the specific implications in such cases.
The type of tax that is levied on the beneficiary share of an estate is known as inheritance tax. This will be assessed based on the legacies the beneficiary receives.
Possibly yes. That depends on whether a tenancy was also recited. Generally, if the three who were named as beneficiaries were to take as "joint tenants" then the share of any deceased beneficiary would pass to the other beneficiaries. If the document was silent as to a tenancy then generally, the share of a deceased beneficiary would pass to their own heirs.
Generally, if the Trust document explicitly states that a beneficiary's share will remain in the Trust until they reach the age of 25, the beneficiary cannot access their share before that age unless there are provisions for early distributions. Trustees may have discretion to make distributions for specific needs, but this typically requires a legitimate reason and adherence to the Trust's terms. It's essential to review the Trust document for any specific clauses that might allow for exceptions.
The tax levied on the beneficiary and share of an estate is typically referred to as an inheritance tax. This tax is imposed on the value of the property or assets received by the beneficiary from the deceased. In some jurisdictions, the estate itself may be subject to an estate tax before distribution to the beneficiaries. The specifics can vary significantly based on local laws and regulations.
That person's share (who died without issue) would go to his parents first, or to his siblings next, or to his siblings' children.
