Black Wealth Lost in Probate, Tax Sales & Improper Planning! Estate Planning Questions Answered

[@carolweller8911]

When my father passed i administered his estate myself. I found the proper forms online, completed them and started the probate process myself. I outlined all his assets and ɓills on the propert forms. The judge named me as executor. My siblings did not object. I sold my dads house to my sister. Sold his car to my 2nd cousin and gave the proceeds to my sister as she lived in the same state as my dad and helped a lot with his care. I filed the tax returns. The estate was closed out successfully. I wouldnt recommend this for everyone but for my dads estate it was perfect.

[@ShaheedahHill]

So happy is worked out well for you and your family. This is ideal. @carolweller8911 Thanks for watching and sharing

Thanks so much for this info! I am executor of my mothers estate. She is elderly and is still with us. She sent me her Trust documentation and want to be prepared.

[@BrooklynHomes.Lifestyle]

You did a wonderful job and your father would be very proud of you. More families should do their planning the way you and your family did. We wouldn't be in such a crisis situation now. Much blessings to you and your family.

My mother's husband had me in probate court for a couple of years. My mother did have a will in place. I've learned so much about this process. The will is public and useless, and the trust is the golden ticket💞💞..

[@ShaheedahHill]

I'm sorry he put you through that, but this post alone may help a lot of people. If you can avoid probate court - Do it! With a will it can be contested and if you have to pay lawyers to fight it, it can be costly and who is paying the bills in the meantime? @msmhamilton87 Thanks for watching and sharing

[@crazycatlady312]

My grandmother kept taking out mortgages on her once paid off 18k home that my grandfather bought her in the 1960s. One of those mortgages was a variable rate mortgage that totally screwed her & had her mortgage up to $1200 smh. She passed in 2008 during the housing crisis and her home has been vacant ever since. It now has a 45k delinquent tax bill so I gave up on trying to get it back. Sorry grandpa.

@crazycatlady312 Thanks for watching and sharing

[@DRventura333]

sorry to read this. are you at all able to work with that tax office to make small monthly payments until tax paid off? am sure your grandfather went through so much during his time to acquire the property and land; let alone all the personal items of your grandparents left on property.

[@msmhamilton87]

I'm sorry to hear this. Find an investor and try to get that house and turn a profit from it. Don't give up yet💞💞...

[@Standingforrighteousness]

You are not personally liable, we have been deceived and bamboozled. We are living souls in control of our fiction which is our capitalized name. Every body that's sending you a so called bill is paying you for using your credit. It's deep can't say it all on here but look it up and do your research so you can take back control of your legacy and Beneficiary executor status

[@u.lisawilliams9600]

I agree with @msmhamiltom87-calculate in the value of the home-see if the value out-ways the lien bill-also if profitable to an investor-try to be open to “creative financing”-do not give up exhaust all possibilities…I often run into these situations as a buyer and acquisition manager-opportunity is could be a potential for one of us buyers😊 again please explore all possibilities…

This topic is so CRITICAL for the people of Color more than anyone else. Yes, preparing a Family Trust (multiple flavors) is expensive initially (pay once up front) BUT it will save you more than if you go into Probate. Just have a very trustable and money conscious person to be your backup Trustee. Probate is expensive, time consuming and stressful (probate fee, court fees, bond, appraisal, infighting, etc). Just put some money away each week and at end of one year, create your Revocable Living Trust. A Will is fine but you still will have to do Probate. If you can do a Trust now, DO it with a reputable Estate lawyer. Depending where you live, as all Lawyers charge differently, if you are able to save $50 - $100 a week, for one year, you can afford a Trust. Thank you for the program.

Pour Over Will is used with a Trust.

[@MaLiArtworks186]

We are having difficulty with family members who says they are the trustees but won't give my sisters and me a copy of the Trust. They even turned off home phone and cell phone so we could not contact our step mother. She died in November 2023, we were not told until April 2024 that she passed. Now they are violating the rules of any trust! I have secured a lawyer but they are ignoring his request on my behalf. The originating trust attorney is deceased also. What can we do at this point?

[@ShaheedahHill]

You will likey have to file a petition with the court to contest the trust, but it sounds like you need a lawyers ASAP. @MaLiArtworks186 Thank you for watching

[@DRventura333]

I like that analogy "a Trust is your alter ego." Spot on. And your secondary Trustee should be your alter ego twin. Good point also, make sure the Attorney gives you the ORIGINALLY signed Will or Trust, also make sure you read the Trust and you are named as the Trustee not the lawyer or some other person you did not designate.

[@BarlayEstatePlanning]

Thank you! I'm glad those descriptions were helpful. I agree that the trustee should read the trust since they will be in the position to have to execute its provisions.

Making yourself as the Trustee of your Trust will not protect you for Medicaid or litigation only Probate. Trustee should not be the Settlor or any Family Member. The trust must have its own EIN Number. Paying only $1500, I bet your trust is only good for probate.

That was very smart for you and your brother. As in many cases, the lawyers end up with most the money from the estate. Another thing we should remember is that we do not have to pay our parents debt when they pass.... period!

[@ShaheedahHill]

@BrooklynHomes.Lifestyle Thank you for watching

[@jaymorgan.]

We didn’t have a Will either when my mother passed and a lawsuit was pending so the settlement ended up in probate court and I was the executor of the estate. You can’t have felony and creditors came rolling in and Medicare. Medicare got their cut. Creditors tried but they were too late as the money was being set to be released. I split the settlement equally. No disputes or fighting in my case like the many other stories I’ve heard and witnessed from other families.

How do we find out who was the trust attorney?

[@tashad2201]

So glad to see this talked about. I try to get through to some family but they don't always listen. Currently having my kids (adults) at least do POA for health and hopefully finances so if anything happens someone can act on their behalf. Make sure you fully trust the person you choose. Fully Trust!!!! And can i just add stop taking word from people who don't work in that field or using a friend of a friend that knew somebody as their example of what they think should happen. It's a very case by case basis cuz we all have different circumstances. Last one...The price. yeah when she said $1500 I was shocked cuz i thought that was extremely low, paid that for a Will. I was quoted 4000-8000 so I agree with Attorney Barlay. You get what you pay for.

[@ShaheedahHill]

Thanks for sharing. Yes it was between 1500-2000 that is really low but I did get mine 6 years ago 2 adults, two minor children so not super complicated and estate attorney I used had a sale at the end of the year. Her regular price was around double that so I jumped on it.

[@lilpetec6803]

I agree with estate planning. But the individuals in the family don't agree. It’s difficult to appoint persons to operate the trust. What do I do to clarify that?

[@ShaheedahHill]

You really can only estate plan for your own affairs, with the hopes that sharing your experience with your family members will encourage them to do the same. In an earlier video that I did with attorney Barlay, he talks about his own dad not having a will. The links to thos videos are in the description of this video, it is really eye opening. @lilpetec6803 Thank you for watching

[@BarlayEstatePlanning]

It should not difficult appoint persons to operate a trust. It is the same main responsibilities as an executor. I always suggest looking to family and friends first and if not then to professional trustees (accountants, attorneys, banks, etc...). The main focus is to find someone competent. We try to write our trusts without using too much legal language, so a non-lawyer should be able to read the trust and follow the instructions. The trustee should also be capable enough to understand that they can hire professionals (attorneys, accountants, real estate agents, etc...) to help them handle their duties under the terms of the trust. Thanks,

What if you don't have a place of residence yet... If you are living with family and waiting to move to a new state but just don't know yet ... What state do you hold the trust?

[@ShaheedahHill]

You create the trust in the state you currently live in but you can transfer it. Please consult an attorney to be sure.

[@BarlayEstatePlanning]

Yes, I would start by creating a trust in your state of residence. A trust is a form of contract and will be active even when you move states. However, I would always recommend seeking out an estate planning attorney when you move to ensure that all parts of your estate plan (the other ancillary documents) are compliant with your new state.

Mr. Barlay that idea for a Learning Estate foundation creation, after you retire, on helping people keep property in the family is outstanding. Please do that sooner than later as too many people of color are losing their land and legacy due to lack if information provided to them or at least the importance of keeping the family wealth for generations.

[@ShaheedahHill]

[@shirleystephensrealtor]

Who should have a trust?

[@ShaheedahHill]

So your family will not have to go through the process of going to court after you pass, they can just begin the execute what is in your trust. Trusts are more expensive though, so if money is an issue a will is definitely better that not having anything. @shirleystephensrealtor Thank you for watching

[@BarlayEstatePlanning]

Great question. Almost everyone should have one, however, as Shaheedah mentioned they are more expensive than wills. In my opinion, persons who own businesses, have different real estate properties and/or properties in different states, should definitely have trusts.

Never put insurance proceeds in trust, unless its for children. Neither put insurance proceeds as part of will since it's taxed. Keep insurance proceeds tax free for beneficiaries so they have cash to address unforseen tax issues, cash flow to buy a house, or for personal legal bills. Putting everything in trust, where trustees can cause problems isn't the best strategy
