• As a trust beneficiary what information am I entitled to know?
• My dad named me as his power of attorney over his financial decisions. When do I take over and what should be my first steps? • My rich uncle went to Las Vegas and married an Argentinian woman. Turns out she didn’t like the cold and moved back home. Is she entitled to share in his estate? • My brother is not sharing any information with me and my sister.

What can I do? • I love my daughter, but her live-in partner is a good-for-nothing unemployable freeloader! What can I do to protect her inheritance? • My mother lives with my sister, and my sister and I don’t speak. My sister is now refusing to let me see my mother. Can she do this? • My mother didn’t have much, so why is the bank telling me I need to probate her Will? • I don’t trust my sister, so what should I do to protect myself from being sued as my mom’s power of attorney for financial decisions? • Mom is just a little forgetful and she can still sign her name, so why is too late for her to make a Will? • My son and his husband recently became parents. I want to be sure that if my son predeceased me, his daughter will inherit his share in my estate as “my grandchild”. Do I need to amend my Will? • My best friend died suddenly and I just found out from her girlfriend that I’m her executor. What are the first things I need to do? • My mom and step-dad made identical Wills that said when they are both gone the four children share equally.
