inheritance, at least I think that's how you spell it
yes, if the step parent name is assigned to the child.
There are a number of factors involved. Did the child buy it from the parent? Is it by right of survivorship? How long ago did the transfer take place? You will need to consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction.
No. What you suggest is not possible.
I am sorry for the parents loss. But I hope that they are not fighting about the money. A good thing to do with the money would be that neither parent get it and it go to a memorial college fund in the name of the child. * The distribution of funds depends upon how the account was established. For example if the account was held by one of the parents with survivorship rights being applicable the funds then revert to the parent account holder. Other situations will be determined by the probate succession laws in the state where the account is held.
The name of the parent at birth on the passport application is the parent's name as it was recorded at the time of the child's birth.
Insurance is one of the non-banking financial instituon.They collect money from people and use in different sectors.But it has some rules about different policies.If the parents insure in the name of their children then the insurance company is ready to compemsate.All we need is the paper of insurance
The Estate, and or its only child (per se). If the debt is secured (by property) then the property can be taken, no matter whose name or possession it is now in. The debt can also be attached to the child if they are worth the time and effort. Most back off when you tell them that there is no money. If they don't, and it is often the smart thing to do, is to file Bankruptcy on behalf of the Estate (the funds for this should have been taken from the estate, once it realized it was unable to pay off its debt).
It can be. It depends if the parent wanted to name the child this.
Yes
The parent who pay child support to your legal guardian have to go to court and modify the child support order so the money goes to you. This is usually only done when the minor goes to college etc but if the minor still lives at home the money goes to the parent/legal guardian to pay for electricity, rent, food, etc.
It so depends on whether the other parent is a spouse, and what her will says. Despite the enticement of having some of this yourself, the best thing to do is to look at what her wishes were and follow those.
Not at all. The child's last name does not grant more rights to one parent over the other with a different last name. It's just a name. The child doesn't even have to have either parent's last name.
