Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama
Protecting the rights of a beneficiary?
a divoerced woman remarries at 69. She has no children. The man she marries is about that age and has 5 children. (The five children have already tried to get much more than they are entiltled to by subversive means. I include this to show they are willing and intend to fight for what is not theirs.) This lady owns 2 houses outright: one her first husband bought that she and her 2nd husband lived in and another house her 2nd husband bought right before he died. This lady would like to leave everything she has to a grand-neice who is only 13 now. If she were to die in the near future with no will, would her husband's children have any claim to her property? What must she do to make sure sure her grand-niece gets everything?
Thank you for your answer.

Re: Protecting the rights of a beneficiary?
The most obvious answer is to sit down with a lawyer and draft out exactly how she would want her property to pass upon her death. You could do this will a Will or with a Revocable Trust, and each has its benefits. Neither would cost nearly as much as the litigation that will ensue if you die without a plan in place. Penny wise and pound foolish applies here too! Call someone soon. William G. Nolan [email protected]
