You need to hire a NE to find a way to get a source of title placed of record. Otherwise noone knows you own the property.

I agree with the other attorney. You can call the non-emergency law enforcement phone number and make a police report if you believe a crime has occurred. You can also speak with the executor of the estate and they can file a motion within the probate case to ask the Court to enter an order... View More

Who is the beneficiary? That person needs to make a claim against the insurance co. for the annuity death benefit. Legal Suit is very difficult as to which jurisdiction to sue in, which is probably not the State you are in. Read the Annuity Contract and hire a NE attorney to start making a... View More

It depends on how the property is titled. Tenancy in common is different than if it is titled with right of survivorship.

You might move to be removed as Personal Representative. But all assets that have come into your possession would have to be transferred to the new, proposed PR. Federal Court probably has no jurisdiction in this matter, and if a Court wants a hearing, that is the Judge's discretion, not... View More

In some cases, a probate case has to be filed in court but not in all cases. You should consult an attorney in person, who works in probate, or in real estate, or both, for guidance.

You may need to retain a probate attorney to assist you in having the estate divided with the assistance of the Court. Generally you need to retain an attorney where the deceased last lived.
My dad passed, my brother removed mom's name so he's the only person on the title. My mother is elderly and she said she didn't know. I was never consulted and found out by looking at the county records. My bother said I can be put on the title but I don't know where to start.

If you are implying that there may have been some type of fraud in removing the mother's name and adding the brother's name to the title, then that needs to be looked into and corrected if necessary first before participating in the brother's willingness to add another name to the... View More

It isn't clear from your question the time frame of the events you describe. Generally you have to go through the same process each time you receive an inheritance but this may not be the case depending on the timing and the specific facts of your case.

If a parent's parental rights are terminated, it generally ends the legal relationship. Thus, the statutes of inheritance among parent-child are also generally severed. Thus, if the parent dies without a will, then the child isn't likely to inherit as a "child" of the parent... View More
