Re: Intestate

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You are correct, your husband's estate will be distributed in probate court. As for your debts, I will need to know further information about them - where you an "additional card holder" or was the account in his name only? I suggest giving me a call to discuss this further. Thank you,

Re: Intestate

It is too late to set up a trust. The life insurance policy is out side his estate and will go to you directly. Check to see whether the savings account has a provision as to what occurs upon his death; were the funds in that account his own separate funds or were they earned during your marriage, in which case they are community property funds. The vehicle might also be community property. When you speak with an attorney, be sure to first make a list of all of his assets, if they were earned or bought after you were married and with whose funds, the amount f his debts and were they for community purposes or his own, etc. The attorney might want you to e-mail the list to them first before any detailed discussion with you.
