Heggstad Petition
Definition:
The Heggstad Petition is the result of the California case in which it was allowed to include assets in a trust after a person dies. This occurs when the decedent did not transfer all of his assets to his trust prior to dying.Consequences of Heggstad Petition:
Contrary to what most people believe, a Heggstad Petition alone does not transfer assets into the trust. In fact, other transfer documents such as quitclaim deeds are necessary to put the transfer into effect. It is also important for trust holders not to rely on anyone else to follow up on the transfer of the assets.What a Lawyer can do for you:
