Estates

The Next of Kin was created in 1942.

The named executor has no authority until they have been appointed by the court and she/he is obligated by law to file the will with the probate court within a reasonable period of time, usually around 30 days. If they don't produce the will they are in violation of law.

If the named executor is with-holding the will then the family has several options. Another family member should tell that person they will file a petition for administration as though the decedent had no will. The court will notify all the interested parties of the petition and if the executor doesn't produce the will the court will appoint an administrator to settle the estate according to the state laws of intestacy. The family could also file a complaint with the probate court that the named executor is with-holding the will and the court can issue an order to file it. The family could object to the appointment of the named executor and another person could request appointment.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can review your situation and explain your options. A letter from an attorney might motivate the executor to produce the will.

A life estate is valid for the life of the individual that it was granted to. It can be granted through a will or through a legal document. The life estate establishes rights for that individual. The other owners can attempt to purchase the rights, but they cannot take them away.

A living trust template is a generic trust instrument. These documents are sold for a variety of uses such as estate planning tools to avoid the expense of probating an estate, to remove property from the reach of creditors or to minimize taxes. Be warned that states have various requirements for creating a VALID trust document. A trust that is valid in California or Florida may not be valid in Massachusetts. To hold title to real property in Massachusetts a trust must conform to Massachusetts law. Therefore, generic trust documents downloaded from the internet are extremely unreliable. The legal problems that can result from these generic trusts can be extremely costly.

A common example is a document that allows the trustor to declare himself the trustee and the beneficiary during his life and then names a successor trustee who will distribute the property after the trustors death. These trusts have become very common and are invalid.

In the example provided above there was no trust created. When the same person is the trustor, trustee and the beneficiary, any property transferred to the "trust" remains in the estate of the "trustor". Upon the death of the trustor-trustee-beneficiary the estate must be probated. If the "trust" was used for tax purposes during that "trustor's" life there may be taxes and penalties owed.

Another problem frequently seen in generic trusts is the failure to provide all the necessary provisions for the trustee to deal with the property. There are examples where a trust was created and the property was transferred to the trust. However, the trust failed to grant the power to sell the property to the trustee. Therefore, once the property went into the trust there was no means by which it could come back out. In other cases the trustee has died and the trust fails to make provisions to appoint a successor trustee. In those cases, the interested parties must hire an attorney and petition the court to make the necessary modifications to the trust so the property can be transferred to the beneficiaries or sold.

When contemplating the transfer of property to a trust you should consult an attorney who is knowledgeable about trust law in your state.

It depends on the language of the trust agreement. If it is silent on the issue, then it should pass to the estate of the person who created the trust. ==Additional Answer== In most jurisdictions a trust must have termination language in order for a valid trust to be created. It must contain instructions regarding the disposition of the trust property after the death of the beneficiary. Instructions for the disposal of the trust property is especially important when the trust holds the title to real estate. A valid trust makes provisions for the trustee to dispose of the property when the trust is terminated or upon the death of the beneficiary. If there is no power in the trust to dispose of the real estate then that matter must resolved by a court of jurisdiction in order to clear the title. The title to the property would not pass back to the trustors estate unless the trust was found to be invalid and so the trust failed and the trust property had REMAINED in the trustor's estate. You would need to check your state trust laws.
