Indiana Estate Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in Indiana
Indiana asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Indiana
Indiana blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Business Succession Planning in Indiana
Indiana business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.
Charitable Trusts in Indiana
Indiana charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.
Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Indiana
Indiana digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.
Spouse's Elective Share in Indiana
Indiana elective share: 1/3 of net personal estate; 1/2 of real estate (if no children).
Estate-Tax Planning in Indiana
Indiana estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Indiana
Indiana guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Superior Court / Circuit Court. Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.
Healthcare Directives in Indiana
Indiana healthcare directives: Living Will + Health Care Representative + POST.
Heirs' Property in Indiana
Indiana heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.
Intestate Succession in Indiana: What Happens If You Die Without a Will
If you die in Indiana without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse takes 1/2 if there is one child, 1/3 if there are two or more children.
Living Trusts in Indiana
A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates over $100K personal property typically benefit most.
