Q: When the parents of 2 children pass away,does both children have to be notified that the other parent passed away?
My father passed away about 6 months ago and nobody notified me about it...my mother is still alive..im afraid when she passes away,nobody will notify me about her passing as well..is it law that I have to be notified?
A: If your mother's estate is probated after she passes away, then you are entitled to notice of the probate process. That said, your relatives need to know where you live so they can notify you. If you care about your mother, stay in contact with her.
