Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: If there is no Will?

I have read what the other attorney wrote.

I think you need to discuss this with your husband and understand what you each want, and then agree on what you will do. You should consider having an attorney draw up a Will for him, and a Will for you. With stepchildren and other issues, you really should NOT just let this go.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

Re: If there is no Will?

Without a will or without your name on the deed, you will be sharing the house and your husband's estate with the children. You both should have a will to take care of all three children and each other. The first thing you need to do is to have a "what if..." talk and agree on what you want to have happen.
