Q: my children's father passed away June 19th. My children are his next of kin. How do my kids get his belongings?
The ex gf is living there and refusing entrance to my children to get his belongings. The police told her she can't touch anything. Is she entitled to anything he owned? How can my kids get in? The belongings are worth $1500-3000 at the most.
Thank you.
A: Did he have a Will, if so the named Personal Rep/Executor can file a Voluntary Statement. Did he have any living parents ?as I assume that your ( his )children are minors and that you are not an appointed Conservator for them and it would not be financially worthwhile based on your statement of what the estate was for you to obtain an appointment as such. His parents should go forward with a Voluntary Statement filing in my opinion.
