1. a) The spouse receives the first $100,000 and then half of the remainder of the estate.

In New York, the spouse gets the $50,000 and then half of the remaining money.

b) The spouse gets the entire estate if the parents of the decedent are no longer alive.

In New York the Spouse will receive the whole estate.

In NY, the estate goes to the surviving parents.

These are according to the Section 30-2302 Intestate Law for Nebraska.

What the Probate Law and Administration of Nebraska states is that Old age per se may have nothing to do with undue influence and it has all to do with the mental capacity of the person. Mouth according to Section 20-2329 Seld Approved, Nebraska Revised Statute, the age of the testator has to be is 18.

In NY the age of testamentary capacity is the same.

Virginia’s Requirement for a Will, Living Trust Network.com, http://livingtrustnetwork.com/estate-planning-center/last-will-and-testament/requirements-for-a-will/virginia.html

Questions:

1. (A) In Virginia, there are two different outcomes when a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue, it depends on the circumstance in order to determine who gets exactly what in the intestate property. 1, If the decedent is survived by a surviving spouse and his/her issue is in common with the surviving spouse, the spouse gets everything. Or 2, if the issue is not in common with the decedent and the surviving spouse, then the spouse only gets 1/3 of the intestate property leaving the issue with the remaining 2/3. This is different compared to New York law, in New York if a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue, the spouse will receive $50,000 along with ½ of the remaining and the other half left to the issue, regardless if the child is in common with the surviving spouse or not according to the laws of intestacy.

(B) If a decedent is survived by a spouse and no issue, again, the spouse will receive everything according to Virginia’s law. In New York, the surviving spouse will also receive all of the decedent’s estates under the laws of intestacy.

(C) If a decedent is survived by no spouse or no issue, then the next distributee will be the decedent’s parents to inherit the property. This situation is ruled the same way in New York law, the parents will inherit the decedent’s estate if there is no spouse or issue under the laws of intestacy.

2. In the state of Virginia, the law states that the age of testamentary capacity is (18) eighteen years or older may be qualified to create a will according to the code of Virginia VA. STAT. ANN. § 64.1-47 (West 2011). This is the same as New York, you would have to be age (18) eighteen or older in order to execute a valid will under New York EPTL § 3-1.1.
3. In the state of Virginia, the testator has to be in the presence of at least (2) two witnesses at the same time in order for the will to be duly executed according to the code of Virginia VA. STAT. ANN. § 64.1-49 (West 2011). Compared to New York law, there also must be a minimum of two witnesses according to the EPTL, §. 3-2.1. However some attorneys may use a third witness in good practice during the signing of a will. Also, in New York the witnesses may sign the will within 30 days of each other, unlike Virginia, the witnesses have to be present at the same time along with the Testator in order to execute a valid will.

4. The city with the biggest population in Virginia is Virginia beach with a    population of 437,994. http://www.alperinlaw.com is the law firm I chose that specializes in probate, estate planning and more. I chose this website because it felt very welcoming when I instantly clicked on it, it clearly explained everything the firm specialized in, the layout and images they provided on the website seemed very appropriate for this area of law and researching the team and the leading attorney showed many good reviews about them .

5. The website I chose for a real estate appraiser for Virginia Beach was http://www.beach-appraisal.com/content.aspx?IntroPlayed=1 . I chose this website because it had a very relaxing vibe but also still very professional. When you enter the website, they provide a brief slideshow of what their website is about which I really enjoyed and on the actually site they clearly indicate all their specialties of their services.

I defendant is survived by a spouse and issue:
If there is a spouse and a child from the decedent and spouse the spouse would receive the first $150,000 and a half of the remaining estate, and the issue receive the remaining amount.

If there is a spouse but the decedent only has kids from a previous relationship then the spouse would receive the first $100,00 and a half and the issue receives the rest.

If a decedent is survived by a spouse and no issue the spouse receive the entire estate. Unless the decedent has parents, in that case the spouse receives the first $150,000 and 3/4 of the estate and the parents receive the remainder.

If the decedent doesn’t have a spouse or issue it’ll go to the decedents parents and if no parents it’ll go to siblings.

1a. In Pennsylvania, if a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue with their spouse, the surviving spouse would inherit the first $30,000 of the intestate property, plus an additional ½ from the remaining estate. The other half of the remaining estate would then be distributed by representation by their issue. 20 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 2102(3) (West 2015). However, if the decedent has issue who are not conceived by their surviving spouse, the surviving spouse can only inherit ½ of the intestate property and the remaining half will then be distributed amongst the decedent’s issue by representation. 20 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 2102(4) (West 2015). In New York City, however, if a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue, the surviving spouse would inherit the first $50,000 of the intestate property, plus an additional ½ from the remaining estate. The other half of the remaining estate would then be distributed amongst the decedent’s issue by representation, regardless if they are the descendant of the surviving spouse or not. EST. POWERS & TRUSTS §4-1.1 (a)(1).

1b. In this scenario, both Pennsylvania and New York’s intestacy law concurs that the surviving spouse shall inherit the entire intestate estate. 20 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 2102(1) (West 2015), EST. POWERS & TRUSTS §4-1.1 (a)(2).

1c. In this scenario, both Pennsylvania and New York’s intestacy law concurs that the decedent’s surviving parent or parents shall inherit the entire intestate estate. 20 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 2103(2) (West 2015), EST. POWERS & TRUSTS §4-1.1 (a)(4).

2. The age requirement in order for a testator to make a will is that they must be at least 18 years old. 20 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 2501 (West 2015). Likewise, in New York City, testators must be at least 18 years old as well. EST. POWERS & TRUSTS § 3-1.1.

3. In order for a will to be duly executed, the testator must sign their will in front of at least two witnesses. 20 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 2502 (3) (West 2015).

4. The city with the largest population in Pennsylvania is Philadelphia. Below is a web link directed to a probate/estate planning attorney located in Philadelphia:

http://www.sjfpc.com/

Mr. Fromm’s web homepage is pretty simple to navigate. The background of the page is white and the font color is either black or blue. The context of the page is also informative. It briefly explains Mr. Fromm’s expertise background, what potential clients can expect from his services, the duties of an estate planning attorney, probate and estate administration attorney, tax attorney, and corporate and business attorney. Mr. Fromm furthermore also included some links on his page that gives business, estate planning, probate, and tax guides for the viewers. Personally, I like his webpage because he doesn’t include flashy advertisements to sell his services, instead, he keeps his webpage simple and add lots of informative guides for viewers to read through so that they have a basic knowledge of what his services includes.

5. Below is a web link directed to a real estate appraiser in Philadelphia:

http://philaappraiser.com/en/Home-Page

My reaction towards this webpage is same as my reaction toward Mr. Fromm’s business webpage. They both do not include flashy advertisements and they keep their webpage’s design simple and easy to navigate.

6. In Philadelphia, they do not have a court house which handles probates. Instead, they have an office called Register of Wills. Its’ functions are the same as a probate court in New York City. They determine whether a will offered for probate should be received as the last Will of a decedent. In situations where a Will does not name an executor, the Register determines and appoints an authorized administer to the estate of the deceased. The current 2015 Register of Wills it the Honorable Ronald R. Donatucci, Esq. The office is located at Room 180 City Hall, Philadelphia, PA 19107. The contact number for the office is (215)686-6250. Below is an image of Philadelphia’s City Hall.

7. One Philadelphia university which offers an Associates degree in Paralegal Studies which has been approved by the American Bar Association is the Community College of Philadelphia. Their Wills, Trusts and Estate Administration course seeks to provide “an in-depth introduction to the tasks performed by paralegals in estate planning and probate of a decedent’s estate.” I’m not sure about the tuition costs between this college and City Tech, but students applying to either colleges may receive financial aid. In addition, the tuition rates for the Community College of Philadelphia varies based on the student’s residency. Below is the link for the college:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Florida

Questions:

1A:

The laws of intestacy under the state of Florida, states that a decedent that dies without a will, but leaves behind both a surviving spouse and issue and the issue, all of whom are also children of that spouse and that the spouse has no other issue from any previous unions, the spouse respectfully inherits the entire estate. Had the spouse have prior children, her inheritance would have been ½ of the estate. (Florida Stat.Ann. §732.102 (2) [West 2011]).  In comparison to New York’s EPTL Section 4-1.1(1) where the laws differ, a decedent that dies with both the surviving spouse and issue, the spouse receives the first $50,000 and one half of the residue while the issue inherit the balance of that estate equally. New York’s law does not affect how the property is distributed based on if the spouse has prior children neither does it allow for the spouse to inherit the entire estate when there are descendants of that marriage.

1B

In the state of Florida, if a decedent dies intestate, but dies with a surviving spouse and no issue, according to Florida Stat.Ann. §732.102 (1) [West 2011]), the spouse receives the entire intestate estate. This law, which is similar to New York’s EPTL Section 4-1.1 (2) also states that the surviving spouse of the decedent inherits the entire estate.

1C

In Florida, a person who dies without a will, with no surviving spouse nor issue, the intestate estate rightfully passes to the surviving parents of the decedent, if there is no surviving parent, the estate goes to the brothers/sisters of that decedent. (Florida Stat.Ann. §732.103 (2) [West 2007]). Florida’s intestate law, which is similar to New York’s EPTL section 4-1.1 (4) also inherits the parents of the estate of the decedent if they are no spouse or issue at time of death.

2.

Testamentary capacity in the state of Florida requires that the person must 18 years old or older, or being an emancipated minor. (Florida Stat.Ann. §732.501[West 2002]). As well is in New York, EPTL Section 3-1.1 also states that a person has to be 18 or over to make a valid will.

3.

Florida’s statutes state that for a will to be duly executed, along with the other requirements, the will must be signed, acknowledged or the testator must state if they have previously signed the will in the presence of at least two attesting witnesses. (Florida Stat.Ann. §732.502 [West 2003]). Florida’s law, in similarity with New York’s EPTL section 3-1.1 also requires the will to be signed in the presence of at least two witnesses as well.

PART II

1)  Haw.Rev.Stat. § 560:2- 102 (2013) issues the Hawaii intestacy laws for descents and distribution

A) If a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue:
In Hawaii, if the decedent died leaving behind their children (issue) or other descendants from him and the surviving spouse, and the surviving spouse has no descendants from previous relationships. Then the surviving spouse inherits everything. Haw.Rev.Stat. § 560:2- 102 (2013)
An Exception:
If the decedent is survived by their issue who are not the descendants of the surviving spouse. The spouse will inherits $100,000 of the intestate property plus 1/2 of the balance.

On the other hand in New York State, If an individual dies intestate and leaves behind a surviving spouse and issue, the surviving spouse’s intestate share is fifty thousand dollars and one-half of the remainder of the estate. The issue share equal parts of the remainder of the estate by representation.  N.Y EST. POWERS & TRUSTS §4-1.1 (a)(1)
B) If a decedent is survived by a spouse and no issue:
In Hawaii, An intestate estate is first distributed entirely to the surviving spouse, if the decedent left no surviving issue or parents. Haw.Rev.Stat. § 560:2- 102 (2013)

Similarly, in New York intestacy law, If survived by a spouse and no issue, the entire intestate estate will go to the spouse.  N.Y EST. POWERS & TRUSTS §4-1.1 (a)(2)
C) If a decedent is survived by no spouse and no issue:
In Hawaii, When a decedent is survived by one or both parents and no children or spouse, then both parents inherit an equal share of the intestate estate or the sole surviving parent inherits the entire intestate estate.

New York intestacy law, follows the same procedure, If no spouse or issue, the estate goes to the surviving parents of the decedent (50% to each or if only one surviving parent, all to the decedent’s surviving parent). N.Y EST. POWERS & TRUSTS §4-1.1 (a)(4)
2)

In Hawaii, the age requirement in order for a testator to make a will is eighteen years old and must be of sound mind.  Haw. Rev. Stat. Ann. §560:2-501 (2013)
Same applies, In New York State an individual of 18 yrs of age or older who has sound mind and memory can make a will. (EPTL §3-1.1)
3)
In Hawaii, in order to duly execute a will, the will must be in writing, signed by the testator and by at least two witnesses.  If the testator cannot physically sign his name he may direct another party to do so. This party may not be one of the witnesses.  The witnesses must sign within a reasonable time after witnessing the testator sign the will, acknowledge the signature, or acknowledge the will itself . Haw. Rev. Stat. Ann. §560:2-502 (2013)
Meanwhile in New York State in order to duly execute a will, the testator must sign in presence of at least two witnesses. Although, three witness are recommended. N.Y EST. POWERS & TRUSTS § 3-2.1(a)(4).

Law of Intestacy in Mississippi

1a. In Mississippi: If a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue, spouse inherits 1/2 of intestate property. The surviving spouse and your child split your intestate property 50/50, if the decedent dies with the a spouse and issue. § 91-1-3. Descent of land

1b. The laws for decedent dying with a spouse and no issue is the same as New York States. The state of Mississippi would give everything to the remaining spouse. (Mississippi Code, § 91-1-11)

1c. So now the question is, If the decedent is survived by no spouse and no issue, in Mississippi?Well, the state of Mississippi says, that if there is not spouse or issue in question, than everything will automatically go to the parents of the decedent. And if there are no parents, than the siblings would inherit everything.

2. The testamentary age capacity in Mississippi is 18 years of age. (MISS. CODE ANN. § 91-5-1.) Which is the same age for New York State, New York, EPTL Section 3-1.1.

3. Mississippi has the same requirements as New York State. According to MISS. CODE ANN. § 91-5-1, You need two credible witness at signing of the will. New York’s EPTL section 3-1.1, says the same thing, you need two credible witnesses during a will signing.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

4.  The largest city in the state of Mississippi is, Jackson. This law firm specializes in more than just Estates and trust, but handles more fields. http://www.showssmith.com/ (Shows & Smith Law Firm PLLC). The website is very open, and shows that they can handle many different fields of the law. Not to difficult to find things on the website.

5.The top estate appraiser in Jackson, Mississippi is, Cloud Appraisal Svc (http://cloudappraisals.com/). The website is easy to use, everything is clearly stated about there appraisal policy. They specify everything from how you will receive everything from there company.

6. The probate court in Jackson, Mississippi is Chancery Court.

407 E Pascagoula St, Jackson, MS 39201.

7. In the city of Jackson there are not any universities/colleges that are approved by the ABA. However, there are community colleges that do give Paralegal ASS degrees but they are not ABA approved. The Hinds Community College offers a associate paralegal degree. And the fees for the community college is 2500 per semester. Which is less than New York City College of Technology.  If attending to MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE which is further than Jackson city, they are ABA approved and there cost of tuition is 7,621/semester. Which is substantially higher than City Tech’s tuition. In the state of Mississippi, there are only few universities that are ABA approved, whom are Mississippi University for Women, University of Southern Mississippi and MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE. But none of them are close to or in Jackson, MS.

For Mississippi College (ASS or BS): ABA APPROVED

Wills & Estates (PLE 304): Study of administration of decedents’ estates, the use of trusts and guardianships with emphasis on Mississippi law, drafting of wills and trusts, and legal research.

For Hinds Community College (ASS): NOT ABA APPROVED

LET 1523 – Wills and Estates : 

This course is an introduction to the laws of inheritance and estates, basic concepts of estates and wills, probate procedures, and preparation of documents while emphasizing ethics. (3 hr lecture).

http://www.50states.com/flag/ndflag.htm

1.(a) If a decedent is survived by a spouse and issue, the surviving spouse receives the entire estate if the issue are issue of the decedent, and there is no other child outside of the marriage that survives the decedent. This is contrary to New York Laws of Intestacy because in New York, the surviving spouse would receive $50,000 of the estate plus one-half of the remainder, and the rest to the children by representation. (b) If the decedent dies with a surviving spouse but no issue, everything to the surviving spouse. (c) If the decedent dies with no spouse and no issue, the decedent’s parents would receive equal shares if they survived the decedent, or to the surviving parent, which is the same law in New York. N.D. Cent. Code Ann. § 30.1(West 2015).

2. The age for testamentary capacity is also 18 years old, as in New York. N.D. Cent. Code Ann.  §30.1-04 (West 2015).

3. The number of witnesses necessary to duly execute a will in North Dakota are two witnesses as in New York. N.D. Cent. Code Ann.  §30.1-08 (West 2015).

4. According to the U.S. Census 2010 the city with the largest population in North Dakota is Fargo, consisting of approximately 115,863 people. A law firm that specializes in probate/estate planning in Fargo is Serkland Law Firm. http://www.serklandlaw.com/estate-planning. The website informs the viewer that the law firm is not a big law firm because the attorneys would like to get to have a better and more personal relationship with their clients which I agree with. In addition, I was surprised that the lawyers offer a variety of legal practices ranging from malpractice representation to insurance litigation, real estate and estate planning. However, the website does assure the reader that the client will be paired with an attorney that specializes in that particular field of interest depending on the legal issue. I liked the website because the information was very thorough in terms of the experience and dedication of the attorneys. The lawyers also mention they make hospital visits to those in personal injury cases in order to avoid further injury of the client which seems very considerate of them.

5. Border Appraisals, is the name of a real estate appraiser in Fargo, North Dakota. http://www.borderappraisals.com. Upon viewing the appraisal website, it was immediately eye-catching because the words “Do you need a real estate appraisal?” appeared on the screen in big bold letters. The website also did not state the cost of an appraisal because it depends on the type of real estate being appraised; similar to Serkland’s Law Firm that didn’t state a price for their services due to the uniqueness of each case. Both the real estate appraiser website and the law firm in Fargo, North Dakota state the credentials of the practitioners for both services. In addition, the real estate appraiser website stated the locations and different types of real estate (residential, commercial, agricultural) that they appraise.

6. Cass County Courthouse has jurisdiction over probate issues in Fargo, North Dakota.

https://www.ndcourts.gov/court/counties/Cass.htm

7. If a student wishes to earn an Associate’s Degree in Paralegal studies in Fargo, North Dakota, Rasmussen College has a School of Justice Degree program that can allow you to earn your Associate’s Degree in 18 months. http://www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/justice-studies/paralegal/. However, Rasmussen was not listed as a school approved by the ABA. The tuition is less than City Tech’s tuition because their programs are offered at under $8,000 a year.
