I am needing to remove him from the deed, but I am wanting to avoid probate. Is there anyway around it?

You may not have provided enough facts for a complete answer, but best I can tell your brother has passed away and the two of you jointly held property together as tenants in common. If you and your brother were the owner of property as tenants in common, upon his death his ownership rights in the... View More

You would need to petition the court for change of custody. The petition would need to be filed in the county where the current court order is out of. Unless your ex agrees, you may not be able to change custody. In Arkansas, custody can only be changed (outside of agreement by the parties)... View More
My father left one account with his child as beneficiary when he passed. It was only in his name. His wife emptied it. She is named as the executor of his estate in his will.

Generally, yes a valid beneficiary listed on a bank account (also sometimes known as a transfer on death TOD or pay on death POD designation) should remove that property from the account holder's probate estate and therefore the property is not transferable via Will. If the bank allowed your... View More

The question is a little confusing, but I am assuming that since there is no court order and you refer to a non-custodial parent, that the parents were never married. In Arkansas, the mother of a child born outside of wedlock automatically has custody of him or her. The father has to establish... View More
The trust does not state any court action is required to remove/change the trustee, and we had to change the trustee because he breached trust, coveted information, failed to administer or collaborate in order to resolve the trust in the best interest of the trust. We've needed the change to... View More

Did the original trustee step-down? If so, he should state his resignation in writing. The terms of the trust will then dictate who the next trustee is. If the original trustee refuses to step-down then court action may be necessary to force his removal.

You should include the style of the case at the top of the objection (i.e. the parties' names and case number). You should state in your objection that you object to the issuance of a writ of possession and then state the reasons why. You need to sign the objection, include your address and... View More
Guardianship since 2012. . Grandma is not opposed. Say I just need to draft and file proper paperwork. I'm in Arkansas and not sure what to file
answered on Oct 19, 2019
If the guardianship is here in Arkansas, and if you are a parent of the child, you would need to file a petition to terminate the guardianship. If you need assistance or have further questions, feel free to contact me.
We live in Arkansas. The girls are 11&13. The oldest no longer wants to go to his house.

The short answer to your question is "yes." You could file a motion with the court in your previous custody case and allege that you believe your ex is on drugs and request a drug test. The judge would need to sign an order requiring your ex to take the test. You would likely be... View More

answered on Oct 7, 2019
In order to terminate the guardianship he will have to show the court that he is no longer incapacitated. This can be done by having his treating doctor fill out an affidavit. He would also have to file paperwork with the court asking that the guardianship be terminated. His mother would be... View More

If the children lived here for six consecutive months before they were moved to Kentucky, then Arkansas has jurisdiction to hear child custody until the children have lived in Kentucky for six months. That said, if the child's mother claims that your son was abusive to her (and she can prove... View More
Do I need to change my will too
answered on Sep 19, 2019
Property that you have a beneficiary (or transfer on death TOD designation) for, such as your stocks, passes outside of probate. That is, the property automatically will go to the person listed as the beneficiary with the financial institution or brokerage firm without the need to go through the... View More
My ex wont allow me to see my baby. I havent seen her for 5 weeks. My exs attorney wont allow me to come get the baby even though legally nothing has been decided about custody. I know legally right now we have equal rights to the baby but i dont what to get in trouble for just going to get her.
answered on Sep 17, 2019
If you and your ex are married and the child was born during the marriage, then you are correct that you both have equal rights to him/her. Therefore, the law does not prevent you from getting your child from a third party such as daycare or school. However, if your ex has an attorney, it sounds... View More

There are a few issues that you are facing with the Georgia lawsuit. The first is whether Georgia has jurisdiction to decide custody or does Arkansas now have jurisdiction. If there is a previous custody order out of Georgia or if your ex filed suit for custody in Georgia within six months from... View More
