Q: How to find out what is being done with my grandmas estate she died with out a will
My dad docent ask because he don't want his sister mad at him and the other brother which has money says he's taking care of it . How do I find out what is being done or not done
A:
If anything is being done then there should be a record of it at the Probate Court for your county.
If someone dies owning real estate or having assets over $150,000 then someone has to open a case with the Probate Court (generally), and those records are public.
If she had less than that amount, then her estate can be settled just by an affidavit signed by all the heirs.
