What happens if the estate and money left in a will of a deceased is in percentage?
In fact, this is how most wills are set up. They pay out a percentage of the estate. For example, if the estate was worth $100,000.00 and a beneficiary was to receive 15% of the estate, they would receive $15,000.00.
Are retirement benefits the same as life ins on an estate?
Retirement Benefits after Death?NO. Retirement benefits cease once a person dies and therefore would not be part of an estate. When a person Dies, they are no longer considered "Retired", They are after death considered "Expired".Life insurance also is not part of an estate unless there is no named beneficiary. The proceeds of a life insurance policy belong to the beneficiary named on the policy, Not to the deceased nor to the deceased estate.
If a house owned by a son but with a life estate maintained by his mother should burn down who would get the proceeds from the insurance?
This could be a tough question and probably depends on your state. Most courts will hold the insurance proceeds should either be used to rebuild the house or placed in escrow with the interest going to the life tenant. It is possible the son could prevail in getting the money, but it is his mother we are talking about.
What is the difference between a trustee and a beneficiary?

Can the holder of a life estate designate another individual to receive the income?
They can unless there is a specific clause in the gift that would prevent it. It will be subject to the same restrictions that the original holder had. The limitation is that the estate is still measured based on the life of the original grantee.
How do you handle life insurance in an estate without a will?
With life insurance, it does not matter if there is or is not a will, because life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the named beneficiary and not to the estate. The named beneficiary obtains a certified death certificate and submits it to the insurance company with the appropriate application form provided by the insurance company. The estate has no rights to the proceeds and would not even be paid to the estate. The only way the estate would be involved is if all named beneficiaries had predeceased the decedent or if the policy names the estate as the beneficiary. In that case, one of the heirs as defined in that state's laws would apply to be the administrator (if there is no will) or executor (if there is a will) and receive the proceeds.

Will the life insurance policies also be part of the probate file?
Generally, no. Life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the beneficiary of the policy, if that person is living at the time of the insured's death. If a contingent beneficiary is named, the proceeds are paid to him/her. If the policy specifies that the proceeds are to be paid to the estate of the insured, or if none of the named beneficiaries are living upon the insured's death, proceeds will be paid to the estate. In that event, they become part of the Estate. If the law of the State in which the insured died requires a probate proceeding (usually depending upon the size of the estate), the life insurance proceeds would pass through the estate.
Does a will refer to life insurance policies?
It may or may not but in general does not need to as the life insurance policies are individual contracts and would name a beneficiary who receives the death benefit outside of the will, estate and probate if properly named. Stated otherwise, the proceeds are paid to the beneficiary named in the policy. If that is a person or an entity other than the estate of the deceased, the proceeds do not become a part of the estate. However, if the beneficiary designation of the policy provides that the estate is to be the recipient, the proceeds would be included.
When proceeds of a life insurance policy are paid into the estate of the insured?
I have written many policies where the beneficiary is listed as the "Estate of Insured". This is a common method of insurance planning but the client needs to have a will in order to direct where the funds are to go. Also "Trusts" are often funded with life insurance proceeds as methods of estate planning. An insurer may also pay proceeds to the estate of an insured if the named beneficiary dies before the insured and the insured does not name a secondary ("contingent") beneficiary. One of the big problems with proceeds being paid to the insured's estate is that, depending upon the amount of the insurance proceeds when added to other estate assets, is that the total may trigger an estate tax liability when one would not otherwise exist.
Can a life estate be cancelled by the grantor in Wisconsin?

What does beneficiary to a bank account mean?
A beneficiary is the person to whom the proceeds of a bank account would be paid if the primary account holder of that bank account dies. They can also be termed the nominee for a bank account. This is very important for cases wherein the account holder does not have a legal will stating to whom his account proceeds should go. In such cases the bank would choose the nominee or beneficiary and pay them the account proceeds.
Can a mother will or transfer her life estate to one of her children in the state of Florida?
A life estate is extinguished upon the deah of the original life estate holder. Therefore, one cannot leave a life estate to another person in their will. Generally, rights in a life estate can be transferred, however, they would expire upon the death of the original life estate holder.
If no beneficiary is named and there is a will and durable power of attorney can the person named receive the life insurance be assigned to the funeral home to pay the burial costs?
First, the Durable Power of Attorney was extinguished when the principal died. You can no longer use it. The authority to handle the estate assets is in the executor. If no beneficiary was named on the life insurance policy then the proceeds will be made payable "To the estate of Jane Smith". In that case the proceeds are part of the estate. The appointed executor would have the authority to cash the check and pay the funeral expenses.
What happens if the estate and money left in a will of a deceased is in percentage?
In fact, this is how most wills are set up. They pay out a percentage of the estate. For example, if the estate was worth $100,000.00 and a beneficiary was to receive 15% of the estate, they would receive $15,000.00.
