You need to have a local competent probate attorney look at your situation snd advise you. It is impossible to determine e what is actually going on from the narrative provided.
majority rules. Two Of the siblings die, do their children have to sign the deed for it to be sold. The grandchildren are not mentioned in the will. My dad died in 2009 . We went through probate court but we have this one property that hasn’t been sold.

The grandchildren do not have to sign the deed. Their share is protected by the will but only the executors need sign the deed for sale of the property.
The deed states belonging to grantee, his heirs, and assigns forever. Can a girlfriend override and take the family farm from us daughters?

If Dad was the grantee, then he owned it and his heirs take at his death. Hire a KY attorney to search the title and determine heirship. GF is not an heir and cannot claim a homestead. Heirs as tenants in common should sue her for possession.

Testator can only devise property in his Will that he owns at death. Executed Deed takes effect against all when recorded. Apparently Testator did not own property at death.
answered on Nov 26, 2024
Yes, although you may have a claim for the improvements you e made to the property.
The will states that majority of the executors rules. The grandchildren are not mentioned in the will. They will get their dad’s share.
Grandchildren have to sign the deed in order for it to be legal if the remaining executors sell the property?

Depends on whether the will provides for alternate or back up executors and/or executrixes.
I have title in his name, and papers from court. How do I get it back?

If she died married to him and without a will, he will be entitled to inherit from her estate. Doubtful a challenge to the intestacy laws will help.
He has no idea where the money is, how much he gets as he’s older or any details. His aunt is trustee and she has us blocked and ignored calls. I’m afraid there won’t be any money there. This isn’t the only trust she’s in charge of!
answered on Sep 30, 2024
Not unless the trust provides for it. There is no basis listed in your question that would give rise to contesting the trust. The trustee is under a fiduciary duty to the beneficiary to ensure that the money is there and that the terms of the trust are followed.
Stepdad was granted executor and has not included me in anything nor has shown me any paperwork. I am the only living child, he says she left me nothing. Please help

If she didn’t have a will, she couldn’t have left anyone anything. With no will, the laws of intestacy under Kentucky law provide for distribution. You can find them set out under KRS Chapter 391.

It appears you will not be able to dispense with administration because your dad’s estate is over $30,000, which is the maximum amount of assets that can be dispensed. Contact a local lawyer who can guide you through the process, which should not be terribly complicated given your description.

Depends on what , if anything, POA did with the money after account was changed.
He was hired for probate by me the executor. He has done a terrible job. He charges an exorbitant amount already. He has even advised some things that are morally wrong and possibly illegal. I just want out of the contract.

You cannot inherit the house through probate if it was originally left to your friend, as the probate process distributes assets according to the deceased's will or state law. If your friend receives the property through probate, it becomes his to sell, and the sale would be subject to capital... View More
In addition to the executor, my friend's next-of-kin also refuse to initiate probate. As a beneficiary of my friend's will, is there any action I can take to initiate probate? Do I have any rights as a beneficiary?

Hire a KY attorney to search the title and determine heirship. Then either record an Affidavit of Heirship or Probate Father's Estate (or both). Do as your KY attorney advises. Deceased Relatives cannot give you a deed.
My wife is the executor and the will states for my brother and me to receive her entire estate, my question is, do we have to go through probate court? We reside in kentucky

It depends on what property there is in the estate amnd how it is titled.
If joint you will not need probate. If it is still in her individual name you will need to go through probate.
