He is the head of the family. Maybe I misunderstood the question but I thought that he was worried about siblings trying to screw him out of what was coming to him and how they could do it |

Quoted:
The best way and easiest is to be given the items before the person dies. Also to have a Beneficiary on all accounts. I'm going through this crap now and it's like the will doesn't mean a damn thing. Joint with Right of Survivorship on bank accounts over rides the Will in some states or having named beneficiaries. That covers bank and brokerage accounts. Real property like coins, guns, and real estate are generally covered by the Will. |

Yes you could do what my FIL's brother and sister did. They convinced my wife's grandmother that My FIL's portion of the money was going to go to his wife who she did not like. They got her to put it into a trust fund that he is only allowed to get the interest on until he dies. The money then goes to the brother and sister. He was in really bad health and they thought he was going to die soon. Well so far he has had the last laugh. His crack head sister blew all her money on dope and died alone. His brother through bad investments and his wife leaving him has lost most of his also and he is now back to waiting for my FIL to die. There is a lot more fuck up shit involving this but I don't feel like typing it all out.

Quoted: I don't have to worry about such things. I went to visit my mother in the nursing home and she told me she was going to see a lawyer and disown me. Been a year, I wish her well and I have gotten on with my own life. Sounds like my situation. Fifteen years ago my mother cut all ties with myself and brother. The two sisters are in constant contact and often gloat they both will get all. So what. Nothing there I want to have or have to fight over to get. I read and hear the horror stories, I have moved on and doing okay fine. |

Combine greedy siblings to that mix, and well, you already know how those things turn out. I sleep well with her decision, because she made it. Such is life. Next problem.

In Louisiana if the deceased gave away anything in the 12 months prior to their death a judge can order it to be returned to the estate. |
