At courthouse, will this affect home going to probate?
answered on Oct 17, 2018
Unless it was a transfer on death deed you be fine. Unless there is a contrary order from the court.

If the assets are liquidated, taxes and creditors paid, it shouldn't take long.

I agree with Mr. Morrel:
A trust might be more appropriate in this situation.
My mother in law passed away and we need to know the statute of limitations in oklahoma for filing with the probate court. She did not have a will or trust.

The back taxes is the most pressing topic. You can stop the auction by paying them.

If done properly you will not need court supervision. If things were left out of the trust you might need to file probate. You should have it reviewed by an estate planning attorney.

Contact Adult Protective Services. You may also look at seeking a guardianship for your mother to take control of her assets. You might be able to dispute credit card charges if they were not authorized by your mother. You may also need to involve law enforcement.
Both my parents are deceased, and we have done probate and everything is ready to divide up. The problem is my only sibling is dragging her feet on selling the house. What are my options and how can I force the sale?
answered on Sep 25, 2018
If you sibling does not want to sell and you own an interest in the home you can ask the court to partition the property. Which, in your case, would probably result in its sale. However, this is costly and requires an attorney's assistance. If the probate case is still open you can probably... View More

Your state probably provides remedies though the courts if a Trustee is uncooperative. These may include requiring that you be shown the trust and/or removal of a trustee. You will need the help of an experienced Illinois attorney.
my brother and I would like to buy my gentleman friends half of the home and own it myself. I know Medicaid will stop until I spend down the inheritance.
Is buying the 2nd half of the home an allowable way to spend down the money?

You should visit with an elder law attorney in Florida.
The transaction you are contemplating sounds reasonable if you are receiving equal value in return. You might also consider other items such as a vehicle, prepaid funeral, repairs, etc.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds as though your father had children apart from the union with his estranged wife. Unless they were divorced, it appears that the estranged spouse will inherit a portion. This statute probably applies if he did not have a Will:

It has to do with decisions. While it does not determine how an estate is divided, it is an end of life document that communicates your wishes regarding medical treatments if you become unable to speak for yourself.

If a probate is filed your state will likely require that they be notified as an heir even if the Will disinherited them. Check with a Colorado attorney.

Who decides executorship?
answered on Sep 20, 2018
Probably, this is generally governed intestacy statutes where the children (or their surviving decedents) inherit if there is no Will. A court would appoint a special administrator or personal representative to administer. Generally, debts of the decedent must be satisfied first.

This is a great question. Generally judges are disinclined to allow a non-attorney to participate in proceedings. However, there is the authority to allow an agent under a power of attorney to participate on behalf of his or her Principal.

We are planning the funeral, trying to pay her bills and rent but cant, we are not on account, can we use her back debit card and then how do we settle with the bank on the remaining money
answered on Sep 13, 2018
The bank should release it if it is under $50,000 and you are able to present a small estate affidavit. If the funds are in excess of $50,000 then a small estate probate will be needed.
