Q: What are the statue of limitations for a civil suit of child molestation in indiana ?
My sisters and I were molested by our dad when we were kids, not one of us ever received any counseling nit did the state protect us...we want to know if we can sue our dad's estate for what he done to us. As we all 3 continue to have problems because of this.
A: I take it your father has passed. Generally, if his estate is closed then there is nothing left in the estate. The estate essentially stops existing. (sometimes if there has been no estate one is created for suit purposes to get at insurance money, but there is no insurance that covers criminal acts). I suggest you contact a member if the Indiana Assn for Justice in your area to confirm what I have said.
