Q: What form do I need for by someone living in out of state, that is the sucessor to my brothers estate giving me authoriz
There is no real estate, he was single, no children, it all should go to my fater. He is 83 and lives in las vegas. How do he appoint me to claim all of his property from another family members house.
A: I assume that this is part of a probating estate. If so, there is no form to bypass a beneficiary of record. You have two options: (1) have the estate probate to your father and then have your father transfer the assets to you as a gift, devise or sale; (2) your father can repudiate his beneficiary interest to the other beneficiaries (this will only work if you are also a beneficiary of record). You have a potential multijurisdictional issue which needs to handled properly or the wholly transfer will be voided. I highly recommend that you contact an attorney for assistance.
