An advance healthcare directive, also known as living will, personal directive, advance directive, medical directive or advance decision, is a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves because of illness or incapacity. In the U.S. it has a legal status in itself, whereas in some countries it is legally persuasive without being a legal document.
如果立有will,不考虑probation问题,是不是里面定义了beneficiary就够了?这个包含所有资产,房子股票之类?
我有印象说是遗嘱里定义了beneficiary,银行和投资账户之类就不要再指定了,否则更麻烦,是这样吗?我记得还特意去掉了银行的beneficiary。现在又犹豫了,是不是需要加回来啊?
老两口头一次不带娃出行,想趁机捋清楚一下,避免probation的问题以后考虑
谢谢大家

will: 遗嘱
trust: 信托。
你到底立了什么?living will肯定没有遗嘱的功用。
will里面的beneficiary 和 银行账户的会有冲突或含混的地方会引起不必要的麻烦吗?
比如你有两个孩子,will里面说某个账户时给大孩子,结果账户上面写的是小孩子。
如果不冲突的话,没有什么关系。
另外tranfer on death 不走probate,但是will是要走probate的。自己要想好。
掌控所有投资账户,银行不回应新trustee 的要求。加上原trustee 不断对产权人搞心理攻势导致法律文件和银行的实权不一致。家人无法得知财务去向和银行账户受益人
如果银行账户和will都写了beneficiary,而且没冲突,这种情况是transfer ondeath 还是走probation?
那个不配合就只能上法庭。老人到那个时候不会想上法庭了
joint owned property, including house and bank account, the surviving spouse automatically become sole owner.
当心授权人在银行系统篡改受益人
Living will可以指定受托人,指自己最后昏迷或者失去民事能力的时候,谁来管这些账户付账单。当然living will也说医疗选择,什么时候拔管,什么时候停止抢救。livingwill只处理生前问题。
只有Will处理死后财产问题。Will的继承人当然要和账户里面的受益人一致。如果不一致,但是也没有人提出异议,那也没关系。但是不一致,几个继承人也达不成协议,有人坚持要去probate提出异议,当然就不好了。
我的遗嘱律师建议我把银行和投资账户的受益人都拿掉呢?
will的继承人和账户的受益人,确实有可能冲突。既然立了will,账户的受益人最好除去,以保证以后没有人打官司。这个情况在复杂的家庭里面,比如后爸后妈,几个孩子闹不和,当然要考虑。
如果你只有一个老婆一个孩子,你连遗嘱都不用留,最后都是老婆或者孩子的。难道老婆还要抢孩子的钱?
所以建议是泛泛的建议。你愿意听最好,不愿意改,如果家庭成分简单,也无所谓。但是你自己要知道有这么一茬子事情,而不是说你的律师在瞎建议。
