Sorry for your loss. Consult with a local probate attorney to review all of the facts (and review his will if he had one) and decide if his estate shall have to be probated. If the $1500 is the only asset, it may go through as a small estate and there is a simplified process for that type of case.

Yes - except when the money is owed to the State for services they have provided for the child.
The insurance adjuster came out and wrote the damages. I just received a check, minus a $1000. deductible. How do I go about, legally, getting reimbursed for my $1000. deductible from my neighbor?

If the child's mother will help to support her child, that is great. If she does not have the ability to pay, that is sad. If you receive benefits from the state (health insurance etc.) the state will be interested in the mother's (and father) ability to help support the child. Thank you... View More

It is critically important for you to get the location of the biological father so he can be given notice of your intention to adopt the child. Meet with an attorney fluent in adoption and retain them to assist you.
