How can I get my spouse pension after he died? He died in A the October 19th 2014. They'll give me a hard time and I don't know what to do. This is two thousand and twenty three is it too late or can I still get it
I enjoyed your video, very informative. I have a question, my husband bought an RV while we are married and is only under his name. Can we add this to living trust to assure the surviving spouse has the ability to legally have ownership? I ask this in the event 1 of us wants to live in it to save money.
Hello atty,im married.u.s citizen last 1997 he is in u.s few years im still looking searching him and i saw in youtube hes died last 2004 and lastc2005 somebody send me a divorce paper Can i complain regarding this matter pls help me
My parents were unwed teens when I and my younger sibling were born. They went on to marry other people and had more kids. If/when they pass, the probate will be 'interesting' 😢
I live in Alabama, if your car title is in both names with the word "or" between both names ether person can sell the car. If the title has both names and the word "and" between both names and one dies then probate here we come to sell it. So always if you trust your spouse title in both names with "or" between them.
Paul I just found the deed of trust to my home . We purchased the house when we were not legally married. But we had been together 7 years. For credit purposes it’s I only in his name , the mortgage company says I’m listed as sole successor, but has been a little to no help in letting me know or helping me find out how to obtain the documents that they need. I just found the deed of trust, and I’ve not made a mortgage payment in about 18 months. They keep calling to ask me if my intention is to stay in the home and I tell them yes and then I don’t hear from them for a few months. What should I do?
My question is....we are not married but our 5 acre land deed basically says if one of us dies the survivor will inherit the land. What are the steps to clear the matter? Thank you in advance.
You are so interesting. My husband in American and I am Canadian. I did my will and he did not. He always tell me I would be ok.I never believed than and listening to you I see what I would be against. AND the fact that it is two different country&laws.
My husband and his dad bought the property we live on before we met. My father-in-law is very close to passing, and he has lots of big money $$$ in medical expenses and I’m sure there are liens on our home. What can we do to remove them after he passes? I am not tied to our property because of my protection, but, I know his expenses are over 3X what it’s worth. What can we do if anything?
On the car title here in South Carolina it depends on the wording of said title. If its "AND" you have to go through probate but if its "OR" nothing has to be done.
Thanks for these videos. My husband died in 2020 and the funeral home recommended obtaining around 10 death certificates. The cost was $150. I found that almost every company scanned it into their computer system and handed it back to me or mailed it back. This included the investment firm and the local bank. Life insurance companies just wanted a copy-there are other ways to verify a death so a certified death certificate wasn’t necessary. It seems businesses don’t want to keep track of paper anymore. Of the 10 death certificates I obtained, I have 8 left. I was advised by my attorney to obtain a Verification of Death which is as valid as a Death Certificate but doesn’t have all the extra information on it that is not pertinent to most companies and can present an avenue for identity theft. This was available in Colorado, I’m unsure of other states.
Thank you so much. My husband won’t get a trust, he always says everything will automatically go to me. Now I know that’s not the case. You’re helping me immensely. I’m hoping he’ll listen to this and consider do things now. We live in California so I’m sure the state will not make it easy.
In California I have put all my brokerage accounts in “transfer on death” and I named my husband. My broker said this is all I need. Also I have removed enough cash where he can access it, so he can buy groceries and day to day needs. I think here is California, it automatically goes to the surviving spouse anyway.

In Kansas when you're married vehicles can be/are titled as Mr. John Doe and/or Mrs. Jane Doe. If the death of a spouse occurs only one signature would be required to sell those vehicles. Under Kansas State Law if you go through Probate you must be represented by an attorney, no exceptions. ~APRIL LIPKE
Thank you for the video. If vehicles title is titled as. John Doe or Jane Doe in Idaho will it need to go through probate before the surviving spouse can sell it?
I have that very same question too. I don’t want my now adult step kids thinking I am doing anything against what will be theirs and I want to include them in the conversation pre death so they don’t get fantasy drama on me if their Dad dies before me. Help!
I'm going threw this now and it's hell. 2 days after my husband died, they tried to throw me out. Were young, this was unexpected. But I thought we were working it out between us, so I let them go threw things they wanted, n after that, they changed on me, and decided now they want it done legal in court. So they are allowed 20% of what estate is worth, but everything we purchased during marriage is mine, but what my husband had before me. So, I own everything between us, AND also half of what my husband owned before marriage. Its been hard. It really made me bitter.. I didn't get to mourn.. the night my husband died, they were already going threw the house, as I was with husband's body
Mr. Rabelais I hope you read this my husband had a business he died at the age of 76 Jan.31,2018 one of our daughter worked there and was named executor I was in bad health she sold the business and kept all the money he had a will at said all that he owns goes to his wife. Question is was the realtor right selling the property knowing that there is a living spouse. Thank You Barbara
You not only give valuable information but very understanding and companionate. You are a good and caring person. Thank you. I do not know when this video was produced; but is it possible for you to give a presentation on how SECURE act affects living trust of surviving spouse and recently converted family trust under the name of deceased spouse. I am scheduled to review and if necessary, amend my living trust which I believe is a AB trust or something like that. Thank you.
My name is Maria and I live in Bremen Germany. I was married to a US Citizen until his death in Texas, near San Antonio, on November 18th of this year. We were married in Denmark in 2012. We separated in 2016 and he returned to the United States. I filed for divorce earlier this year however he never came to terms with it. Before he passed away he received a sizable inheritance from his parents after they passed away however I have no details regarding what that means though it did leave him financially independent. I am told that he had a Will and it passes everything down to only one of his sons. I am not sure whether I am entitled to anything from his estate or not; considering I was still lawfully married to him at the time of his death. If there is no chance under Texas law to collect from his estate then please let me know. The time being married to him took a financial toll on me and was glad to have him move back to the US. I have tried to request a certificate of death however the county websites are blocked to me from Germany, specifically the County sides, Texas page as I really don’t know where to start the whole process.
You never spoke about credit card. Debt. What if the spouse had credit card debt but the other spouse is not on them. Are they obligated to pay them off?
What happens when your parent passes away without a will in NC. It has now been 5 years since my fathers passing and me and my sister are ready to set things in order with my fathers house and 33 acres of farmland. We have a brother too that has not been so cooperative with us these last 5 years.
Pat Currie my husband and and I just did a trust, everything soup to nuts, it cost us $4 k After both of us are gone, my children will not have to go into probate, everything will be very easy for them
Great info! I'm in NC and I've been told that if my husband passes away, my stepson's mom could fight for the right to split our assets with her and that I could have to sell my home and split with her?
You need a will. I was thinking something similar. If my husband dies without a will then the assets will be split between me, and my son. I also live in nc. My husband refuses to make a will
I would love to talk with you !.. My wife died ..age 36 Nov 2008.. at the time our only child was just months old. My own convicted felon (1988) mother intercepted and lied to the SS administration ...claimed she was caring for my daughter including me living with her resulting in her stealing ALL of the survivors funds from my deceased wife.Still to today's date she receives my now 12 year old daughter's portion. I have never recited with my mother passed age 19 and briefly after the Marine Corp release in 1996. My mother took me to corrupt family court to get guardianship and remove fathers rights ...my wife's name was forged for consent. I have so much proof from the banks claiming this. Could you point me in the right direction ? I would appreciate any help.
My husband passed and immediately I started all the paperwork. I was giving 15 death certificates and did all my paper . I was fortunate that my husband was a 26 years military retired so DEFAS and VA took care of the money thing for me . Also our banker and the death insurance took care of the rest . For me it was just easy to transfer cars registration and title on my name as likewise the house . Bank open another bank account for me and piggy ride my account on our joined account for six months . I recommend to have all paperwork in a handy folder and carry with you .
I was Wondering About my Father's Pension he worked at a Special Metals plant for I believe 32 years Retired. My Mother passed before my father but what happens to his pension after his passing ??
Usually, the pensions stops paying. It might have a pay on death clause but you'll need to read the actual pension documents as there is no standard, they're all different.
My common law wife died and left not only myself but also a 5 year old child. She had 175.000 in annuities and 60,000 at a local elevator, our house paid off, 100 acres prime Iowa farmland, bank accounts including my daughters savings and safe deposit box. I was with her and she told me the day before her death the will stood but Attys say she died intestate. Who would get the assets? I'm raising our daughter without any money from estate and hired atty out of Sibley and I think he robbed me, what can I do? I have never seen a judge yet and Atty Joe says he cant be fired as he is the fiduciary and he is mean and very secretive and only shows up or calls when there are changes with the probate. How many years does probate take anyway and why do I have to pay the county Atty 2500 for court room rent and expenses? All I have done is spend and spend and deprive my daughter. What can be done? Thank you from Rock Rapids, Iowa
WOW that lawyer you have should lose his license. He will suck out all the funds you have. You'll need to go to another attorney for advice. It's horrid that these things happen. Unfortunately few people learn about all these things they need to handle before someone dies because they don't want to think about death.
Our mortgage in our WFargo bank account is only under my wife’s name although both our names are in the deed and I am paying our mortgage through my personal WFargo account. What would I do to include my name in our WFargo mortgage account so that if she pass away, I will be retaining the interest rate and everything about the account, just like continuing payment of the mortgage which is now under my name as the payer ?
My wife passed away in 2020 and one of my 5 sons is trying the inheritance act 1975 on me through civil court cpr36 the will states I am sole executor and the life insurance I’m sol beneficiary where do I stand?
My husband died Jun 11th 2022.... I am currently dealing with his bank account that it never occurred to us to have my name added as a Beneficiary... Not a lot there didn't think I would have issues getting it without probate... Second issue is with all the home care I had to do completely forgot to register his truck before he died... We have two vehicles... Car both our names and truck(the one I am having issues with) is in his name only... What can I do without probate to just register the truck under is name... I know in order to do it under my name we are talking refinancing and I can't really afford that... Not expecting to keep both vehicles...
Hello My husband died in 2020 My husband died in an IRA account in the name of my son as a beneficiary, he is 10 years old. The bank told me that he could not have access to this account because I am not the beneficiary. but today I called and they told me that I can open an IRA account to transfer the account to my son's name. I am in the process of buying a house and I want to know if I can have access to take some of this money? thank you
Thank you for all your advice my Husbund and I have a living trust my question is if I can change the living trust after he pass. Thank you it was done in 2004 in California.
His family is turned on Me and My kids and the house isn't in my name but they making me pay it and I'm poor I can't even afford anything and they claimed my house for Thier taxes I am so hurt and don't deserve it
I have been watching your You Tube videos and finding them very informative. I now have many questions for the estate planner. Thank you for providing this information.
My son buys a new car for his wife and then he suddenly dies a couple months later. The car was title only in his name since his wife was not with him when he purchased the car. The car was expensive and he put 38k down on it. Now the wife cannot afford the high payments and wants to get another car half the value. She has death and marriage certificate, is there a way to get the car transfer from his name to hers so she can sell or trade it in? She hates to let the car go back to the bank that hold the lien since the cars value is twice as much as the balance. What to do?
I’ve been together with the woman that I love for 27 years and we’re not married but her name is on my account not her money but we use it together should I have her removed from my account as we both have children from other marriages if you could do a video on that I would greatly appreciate it on what I should do
My souse died 6 years everything was put in to the estate car are or a not and they are not in the Estate n ow my Question is my nieces will be executors when I die I want to give them step step things about what to do. We do have a lot of investments and I have a fiance accountant. Will they just have to take my death certificates to our banks or both certificates. Should i open an estate account with their names? how can i set something up so they can have money available to them a head of the death certificate being available. I will be talking to my estate lawyer on May 17 . but wondering about these things. Thank you just starting to try and get as much in order as possible to make it easier on both. They will not be inheriting anything
My husband passed away about 2 months ago and I was not in his trust do you recommend to me hiring a lawyer because her daughter is in the trusting my husband I was going to changed but it in my name too
My wife and me are getting a divorce and she’s not doing too well and we are scared she might die, so does that mean her medical bills are going to be my problem after she dies?
if the spouse has no life policy or anything to leave for you when he dies,is it selfish to not include him as a beneficiary on your own life policy and just put the kids?
Husband had an old will mentioning his son. He remarried 10 years later. Is the old will null and void? Does the step son due an inherentance or just the new wife?
I've dealt with quite a few attorney's and judges in my lifetime and you sir are the fastest talker I've ever heard, especially trying to explain to someone who has no knowledge of the pitfalls of probate. I believe you practice in only one state and therefor are only familiar in the type of probate in that state, so don't try to hustle-up clients by having them to rush out to get an attorney when they might not need one. Heck if they can get a divorce now without an attorney, they can download the forms and file for the appropriate proceeding they need themselves, not rocket science.

If there's a property that was an inheritance but spouse was a signature on paperwork does that still prevent you from selling after their death

The "stupid question" is the one you should have asked, but didn't.
My parents were unwed teens when I and my younger sibling were born.
They went on to marry other people and had more kids.
If/when they pass, the probate will be 'interesting' 😢
I live in Alabama, if your car title is in both names with the word "or" between both names ether person can sell the car. If the title has both names and the word "and" between both names and one dies then probate here we come to sell it. So always if you trust your spouse title in both names with "or" between them.
In Wisconsin the estate can claim half of it! It is only Motor Vehicle that looks at it that way not the probate court!

You can take all deeds and titles to court and cash them in. Not sure how much they will bid on them, they are used as stock.
Yeh, funeral homes are cash sucking machines. As you found out, you didn't need to purchase so many original death certificates.
Yes me too after my mother's died in 2010 I requested 10 death certificates from the IRA Co. & Company pension mailed them back.

I have never seen a judge yet and Atty Joe says he cant be fired as he is the fiduciary and he is mean and very secretive and only shows up or calls when there are changes with the probate. How many years does probate take anyway and why do I have to pay the county Atty 2500 for court room rent and expenses? All I have done is spend and spend and deprive my daughter. What can be done?
Thank you from Rock Rapids, Iowa
WOW that lawyer you have should lose his license. He will suck out all the funds you have. You'll need to go to another attorney for advice. It's horrid that these things happen. Unfortunately few people learn about all these things they need to handle before someone dies because they don't want to think about death.
Who will die first the young wife or the old husband?
Thank you so much great advice.
Would you cover the estate tax ramifications if more than the $15,000 limit on gifts is made
Thank you so much for posting this information!!! Liked and subscribed!
Our mortgage in our WFargo bank account is only under my wife’s name although both our names are in the deed and I am paying our mortgage through my personal WFargo account.
What would I do to include my name in our WFargo mortgage account so that if she pass away, I will be retaining the interest rate and everything about the account, just like continuing payment of the mortgage which is now under my name as the payer ?
My wife is currently mortally sick which is why i’m asking this question.
Thank you
I didn't do any of that
My beloved husband is dying from late-stage cancer. He always did EVERYTHING for me.. All of this sounds so complicated.. God help me!
My wife passed away in 2020 and one of my 5 sons is trying the inheritance act 1975 on me through civil court cpr36 the will states I am sole executor and the life insurance I’m sol beneficiary where do I stand?
My husband died Jun 11th 2022.... I am currently dealing with his bank account that it never occurred to us to have my name added as a Beneficiary... Not a lot there didn't think I would have issues getting it without probate... Second issue is with all the home care I had to do completely forgot to register his truck before he died... We have two vehicles... Car both our names and truck(the one I am having issues with) is in his name only... What can I do without probate to just register the truck under is name... I know in order to do it under my name we are talking refinancing and I can't really afford that... Not expecting to keep both vehicles...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the Info. :)
Hello My husband died in 2020 My husband died in an IRA account in the name of my son as a beneficiary, he is 10 years old. The bank told me that he could not have access to this account because I am not the beneficiary. but today I called and they told me that I can open an IRA account to transfer the account to my son's name. I am in the process of buying a house and I want to know if I can have access to take some of this money? thank you

I have been watching your You Tube videos and finding them very informative. I now have many questions for the estate planner. Thank you for providing this information.
My son buys a new car for his wife and then he suddenly dies a couple months later. The car was title only in his name since his wife was not with him when he purchased the car. The car was expensive and he put 38k down on it. Now the wife cannot afford the high payments and wants to get another car half the value. She has death and marriage certificate, is there a way to get the car transfer from his name to hers so she can sell or trade it in? She hates to let the car go back to the bank that hold the lien since the cars value is twice as much as the balance. What to do?
I’ve been together with the woman that I love for 27 years and we’re not married but her name is on my account not her money but we use it together should I have her removed from my account as we both have children from other marriages if you could do a video on that I would greatly appreciate it on what I should do

My wife and me are getting a divorce and she’s not doing too well and we are scared she might die, so does that mean her medical bills are going to be my problem after she dies?
Can a surviving spouse change a trust after spouse dies to eliminate someone as a beneficiary?
My credit union is not allowing me to add my spouse to my deed . Do they have that right legally.
if the spouse has no life policy or anything to leave for you when he dies,is it selfish to not include him as a beneficiary on your own life policy and just put the kids?
Heck no!
No!

How do we contact you regarding estate planning
Great vid as usual. Thanks. What about "portability" :-)
Husband had an old will mentioning his son. He remarried 10 years later. Is the old will null and void? Does the step son due an inherentance or just the new wife?
The most recent will takes precedence. If it was never updated, it's stays as valid as the day it was signed. Get a new will !!
What estate? Do we even matter? Yes we po
I've dealt with quite a few attorney's and judges in my lifetime and you sir are the fastest talker I've ever heard, especially trying to explain to someone who has no knowledge of the pitfalls of probate. I believe you practice in only one state and therefor are only familiar in the type of probate in that state, so don't try to hustle-up clients by having them to rush out to get an attorney when they might not need one. Heck if they can get a divorce now without an attorney, they can download the forms and file for the appropriate proceeding they need themselves, not rocket science.
Hlo sir I am in India and my husband came from.canada to India and he dies becaus of corona . He also sponse us what can we do??
