When they married her 2 children were grown and out of the house. They never lived with my gather and nothing was ever in their mothers name.

Your narrative raises a number of interesting issues. However, there was no question posed? The best suggestion would be to seek the advice of an attorney.

You will need to file a substitution of attorney in the proper person. The self help center will have forms that you can use to achieve that objective.
B (NY, died in 2017) left her estate in a 1961 will to two sisters; A (NY) and M (FL). The two sisters predeceased B. Beneficiaries to A's estate are her two children (NY & MA). Living beneficiaries to M's estate are her & B's brother, P (CA), and a niece, M (FL).
The answer will depend on what the will says. If the will has no "back up" people to receive the inheritance if the people listed as first choice have passed away, the inheritance will likely go to B's heirs by law. You should make an appointment with a probate attorney and have the... Read more »
Your question is unclear. If there is only one tract, then apparently the alleged owner is actually only a tenant in common and the Probate will need to be closed prior to sale. If more than one tract, then the alleged owner may be able to convey the tract he owns. The Probate may only be... Read more »
I’m going to file the set aside and mail her notice and wondering if I will get the entire estate if she doesn’t file an objection or will the court just automatically give her half without her showing up in court or objecting. We haven’t seen her for 30 years so the chance of her responding... Read more »
If your father died without a Will and the "estranged" daughter is his biological daughter and you and she are the only children he ever had and he died unmarried, she gets half of his estate just like you. If you fail to mention her in paperwork you file you will be committing a fraud.... Read more »
I am the executor and the named recipient of the home in the will of the husband. The parties involved are married but have not resided together nor communicated since the wife moved out of state over 10 years ago. His house is specifically listed in the prenup as an asset from prior to the... Read more »
You will need to review the current deed of the property to see precisely how the property is held, this will be your starting point. It is likely that some version of probate may be required and a petition to determine homestead status of real property as well. The prenuptial agreement will also... Read more »
My father in law died, leaving my husband everything and naming him the executor to his will too.
My husband died before he could finish the probate process. Our children (Minors) are now the heirs but the new executor won't tell us what's there. We have repeatedly asked for an... Read more »
You did not mention whether your children are adults or minors. If adults, they need to file a petition for settlement of accounts with the probate court that issued letters. You probably should consult with an attorney specializing in probate work for assistance.
Before this I was on probation and broke it for getting a DUI and went to jail for one year then got on probation again this time and for the first time broke it by testing positive for alcohol and then got in the accident the next day in geauga county
You are subject to the same maximum penalties as you were for the original charge. Every time you violate probation the punishment typically increases. What should you do? Hire an attorney to get you the best possible resolution. Don't expect a miracle with these facts however.

When a person dies without a will, he is said to have died “intestate”, and the persons who inherit from him are determined by that state’s laws of “intestate succession”. The laws of intestate succession direct a hierarchy of kinship that generally favor the spouse and children first,... Read more »
We have the same name. Used my social also. So IRS didnt take it from him. Now he's passed away and step mom is not letting me stay there. Is there anything I can do.
Very sorry for your loss on the passing of your father, please accept my condolences for you and your family. This is an issue and question of probate and based upon how the deed is held. If this was Homestead for your mom and dad then one set of rules will apply related to probate, or maybe the... Read more »

Merely wanting you to have the home is insufficient; a written will would be required; however you and your siblings, if any, will probably inherit her property according to the intestacy (no will) statutes. But for the real property, etc., you will have to file a probate petition with the court... Read more »
Received a Will to sign and the information does stay the verbal information I was told by the deceased.
The short answer is no, a will cannot be changed after the testator has died. You probably did not receive a will to sign. The only will you can sign is your own. If you do not understand what you are being asked to sign, you should take it to a probate attorney to review.
Dad died after Mom and I just found out his kids are heirs and not my Mom's kids. She paid over $30,000 for the land and property. We feel we should at least get that back. She has 3 living children.
More than likely, when your Mom died your step-dad inherited the property by operation of law or in a Will. Once that happened, his children become the heirs. Sorry to say, you are out. The fact your mom paid for the land is of no consequence. Had the Step-dad died first, his kids would be out.
Person has no spouse or children. But has living mother and siblings.
A probate may need to be filed. You would need an attorney to review deeds, bank accounts, etc. to determine if probate would need to be filed. Without a will, the estate passes according to Oklahoma statute. If deceased has no spouse or living children or deceased children with children, then the... Read more »
I am doing probate for my nephews land and trailer in SC. Rather difficult to find who will do the inventory and appraisement as I live in Virginia. I have the form to file with the court.

If you are issued Letters of Administration, then you have the authority and legal duty to marshal up assets of the Estate yourself. If you do not, then you will probably be removed. Talk to a competent attorney as Probate may not be needed or someone else might need to be the Administrator.
This past September, my mother was granted permanent guardianship of my now 13 year old son. They live in Lake County, Illinois and I live in Washington County, Florida. The CPS case, which in now closed, originated out of Walton County, Florida. My situation has drastically improved and I am... Read more »
You have to determine which state now has jurisdiction - could be Florida, could be Illinois. What you do not do, is think that this is easy or that it is a DIY project. it is not either. Step 1 is to consult with a Florida attorney who practices guardianship matters to determine where a petition... Read more »
Yes.
Objection states no wrong-doing nor does it offer any evidence of wrong-doing. It only implies wrong-doing. Is there a process in which pre-trail can be canceled? Can an order of dismissal be serviced without conference/pre-trail?
If the Appearance and Objections/Affidavit were timely filed then a Motion to Strike may work.
