Has the final accounting been filed and or approved by the court.
If yes, then the funds are identified as belonging to the estate.
After you are appointed successor executor, you can request the court to order release of those estate funds to you.

Read the title policy.
If no survey was done, it probably has an exception for boundary lines.

Child support is based on income of the parties and how much time the child spends where.
Child support normally starts when a court case is filed.
After the kid was born, she moved out of state and did not contact me again besides taking me to court for child support. I have never paid but I do not have a job or any money saved up. I have not filed taxes for a long time and don't know what to do. Is there any way I can get this case dismissed?

If you don't have income, you are not eligible for Chapter 13.
They are probably getting things lined up to start taking it out of your social security checks.

In probate there are deadlines for doing things.
Also, what the executor or administrator has to do is based on how they were appointed.
Assuming you were given an inventory and accounting and you did not object, then you may be out of luck.

Unless the father consents to the adoption, his rights have to be cut off by proving his unfitness.
This could be abandonment, failure to maintain interest or a whole host of other reasons.
The usual incentive for cooperation is that he won't have to pay child support.

The test is inability to meet obligations in a timely manner.
For some people $5,000.00 is insurmountable debt based on current and projected earnings.
For others, $500,000.00 may not be much.
prove he's biologically related, does he automatically get money?
answered on Sep 14, 2018
If he doesn't have a birth certificate, he will have to prove he is the son.
If there is no will and no spouse, it goes equally to children with the share of any deceased child going to his heirs.
That's just the way it is.

Lease ends when it ends for landlord and tenant.
Some leases have renewal provisions in them.
My mother created a Last Will & Testament (also as a Pour-over). I believe my brother, the POA has breached his fiduciary duties.
Being a beneficiary, I asked for him to provide a copy of her will and her trust. He told me that they were at the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

You need to hire a estate and probate lawyer.
If he didn't open an estate, then you can.
The problem is that there may be nothing to probate because everything may have been transferred out of her name.

Fortunately for you, she can only go back to the time she filed the petition for support.

In real estate you don't remove your name. You transfer it even if it is to you and someone else.

It can only go from the new people to someone else if everyone it was transferred to signs.
Your issue may be with... View More

If there is a sufficient reason, such as reduction in income, child support can be adjusted.
The amount of arearage cannot be changed unless by consent of parties.

Child support is based on a formula that uses the parents' income.
The court can deviate from the formula if there are special reasons.
answered on Aug 28, 2018
Every case is different.
How much is he paying current.
When the $9.20 was set up, how was it arrived at.
Also I would like to get the entire process done. I do not know what paperwork needs to be filed, and was told a publication in a newspaper might be required, but could be waived under the circumstances

Name change is same for everyone.
You have to file a petition with the court and run a newspaper notice followed by going to court to have the judge approve the request.
