Q: If a DD was done but was not done for a case not yet heard in probate does that mean that the case will be dismissed
My brother passed they did a DD in his probate I filed a petition for probate for our mothers property which now they say will be dismissed because of the DD on my brothers estate… he was not a owner of her property she was the sole owner…
A: It is not unusual that the estates of multiple people relate to one another. There is not enough information in your inquiry to explain why the determination of descent for your brother's estate would eliminate the need for probate of your mother's estate. If you are trying to handle your mother's estate without assistance of an attorney, you should consult an attorney immediately. If you are represented by an attorney, you should get a complete explanation of how you can protect your interest in your mother's estate. Do not delay.
