Updating Living Trusts and Wills
My husband & I have a revocable living trust, living wills and powers of attorney, all drawn up in Calif. We now live in Colorado. What do we need to do to update our documents?

Do I have the right to see a Living Trust & Codicil that I am named in in its entirety now that the person has passed?

My wife and I are in our 30s and have two small kids. We need wills, powers of attorney, living wills, etc. We don’t have a lot of assets and probably just need something basic. I know there are a bunch of forms online or cheap do-it-yourself software for estate planning. Is that sufficient or do we really need to have it drawn up by an attorney? Also, we live in Texas. Do we need to have state-specific forms?

Executors vs. Heirs
My grandmother had a trust and living will, the whole shebang. She appointed my mother and uncle as co-executors. Nothing is being done to settle her estate and they constantly fight over her checkbook and are going through every penny my grandmother had in her life. I am constantly put in the middle of the ”drama” between my mother and uncle, yet nothing gets done except for when I step in and do it. I am 21 and though not specifically named in my grandmother’s will, I meet the circumstances delineated in her will to qualify as an heir. Is there anything I can do or do I have any legal standing to try and take control of the estate so that things can be resolved?

Will, Estates
1) Upon my death, I do not want my sister to be included in any of my money or property. After my death, if I don’t have her name/address or any info about her in my possession, is there still a way of her knowing I died?
2) I don’t have a living will. What do I specifically write, in my will, that will totally exclude her from my will and not be able to contest it?
