Ask Your Lawyer Series, Intestacy

New Year, new law series:  Introducing “Ask your Lawyer”.   I usually receive several emails commenting on my Wednesday morning weekly appearance on the Bronxnet’s “Open” television show.  Many of those emails ask for advice that I give in private.  During this year I will now read one (maybe two) emails on the air every Wednesday while attempting to answer your question.   This morning I read the following email:  “My Aunt has 2 biological children and 3 adopted children (all adults now).  She bought a house and would like to make sure the house goes to her biological kids if something were to happen to her and/or her husband.  She wants to keep from the house having split 5 ways.  How can she achieve this?  What should she know?  Ingrid, Riverdale”.  I answered her question.  Here is the link to the segment now online:
