Answer: Even though the child may not be named in the will, there may be other assets passing without regard to the will which the child might inherit. For example, the parent may have made a beneficiary deed to leave real property to a child. The beneficiary deed acts without reference to the will. So the child may go onto the county website to get a copy of the deed and see if the deed on the deceased parent’s property names the child as a beneficiary. In addition, most retirement accounts, such as IRA’s and 401k’s, as well as insurance policies and annuities designate beneficiaries of these accounts, which also transfer in many cases without reference to the will. So the child of the deceased parent may make inquiries concerning these types of accounts to determine if the child might be a beneficiary.
