- Q. Do co-successor trustees have full control over where proceeds from a home sale are deposited/distributed?
- A: Hi there - No, a trustee's role and job is to follow the instructions within the trust. In most revocable trusts, the trust document itself will state who gets what after the grantor (creator of the trust) passes away.
In short: see what the trust says! You should check with an elder law or estate planning attorney to review with you.
I hope this helps!
- Q. My wife and I are both disabled I am on sddi she is on ssi we are considering divorce so she can draw a higher amount
- A: Your SSDI will not be impacted because it is based on your work history (regardless of income/assets).
However your wife's SSI could negatively be impacted by being married because part of your income may be being "deemed" to her and therefore can result in her receiving a lower monthly SSI benefit. This is sometimes referred to as the "marriage penalty" and is unfortunate.
In 2022, the maximum SSI monthly benefit is: $841/mo. In 2023 that will increase to $914/mo.
If your wife has no other income sources and is making less than the maximum benefit, speak with an experienced SSA-focused attorney to discuss next steps and whether getting a divorce would be ... Read More
- Q. if im married can I change my will so when I die my husband doesn't get our marriage assets in state of Florida
- A: Florida Statutes are very clear: the surviving spouse is entitled to 30% of the value of the deceased's spouse's estate (this is referred to as the "elective share", and I put a link to the statute at the bottom of this answer).
The right to an elective share can be waived, but the spouse will need to sign a waiver knowingly and you'd be well-advised to have separate attorneys on this matter.
You can, however, certainly speak with your own estate planning attorney and arrange your assets in a way (usually via revocable trust) so that your spouse only gets 30% should you pass first.
