Q: My father passed in south carolina leaving the estate to me, my half sister and my step mom.one third each. Got nothing.
Havnt heard anything and probate closed 3 years ago and now step mom passed. She was executor of his will. What do I do?
A: You waited 3 years after probate closed to start asking questions? The only thing I can recommend is to contact the attorney on South Carolina who handled the probate. Also, your dad had to have assets at the time of his death that were in the Will. In other words, I can put in my Will that my son will receive 1 million dollars, but if there isn't a million in my estate, he's not going to get a million dollars. Talk to the lawyer.
