Additionally, what would be the circumstances under which an attorney would not allow a signing of the will, or is there none? What bearing would that have, if any, on an attorney bringing the matter to the courts attention? Or is it a moot point since the will was unsigned?
Thank you in advance.
My husband has 6 siblings all beneficiary’s of an estate in probate. My husband wants me to handle the probate and so do 3 other siblings because their sister the one in charge is mishandling things. Am I allowed to do that being that I am only a sister in law ?

It will be more air-tight if your husband or one of his siblings petitions for the removal of the existing administrator per Probate section 8500 and at the same time, nominates you as the successor per Probate Code section 8520. Here is a link to the code sections:... Read more »
Also one of the beneficiaries has passed away was paperwork suppose to be submitted to the court to show this? The current administrator is not trustworthy at all can she hide the money once property is sold by any chance?

No. According to Probate Code section 8500, any interested party can petition the court to remove an administrator. The language of section 8500 is as follows:
8500. (a) Any interested person may petition for removal of the personal representative from office. A petition for removal may... Read more »

Looks Like something fishy is happening here looks like you should hire yourself a good lawyer to investigate and file a suit if necessary.
For example, if your 75 year old father got married a year before he died, will probate court take into consideration that his "wife" was only so for a year, where as his money and assets were acquired over the lifetime of his 40plus year marriage to the mother of his two grown children,...

Surviving Spouse is a Heir At Law under TN's Intestate Succession Statute. Also a Surviving Spouse has various rights in the Decedent's Estate under the Probate Statutes. You are confused with Divorce laws.

You are correct that Oregon's small estate procedure does not result in the appointment of a Personal Representative or issuance of Letters Testamentary. All you receive is a certified copy of the Affidavit of Claiming Successor (Small Estate Affidavit). Banks in Oregon are supposed to honor... Read more »

If you want your name on a deed, you will have to file one at the register of deeds. You can do this, but I advise you get a lawyer to draw up the document.
The actual legal transference happens when you probate a copy of her estate in the county where the property is located.
She moved away is not communicating with anyone and has mental issues.

The process involves filing a petition with the court that has jurisdiction over the matter. The absentee administrator may not object to being removed and may be relieved that someone is willing to take over the responsibility. Any interested person has the right to file a petition in the Probate... Read more »

You need to act fast. You should go get a copy of the Estate Paperwork, etc. They may have been required to serve you, and didn't, or created some other legal issue. However, if you do not get it all straight, you may lose anything you should have received. It sounds like you had at least 1/2... Read more »
Could it be challenged? Another factor is it was not witnessed by two people. Also, there was an IRS lien for $100,000+ due to irresponsible decisions by my sister and my brother-in-law. Now, I believe they are spending from the Trust account, and not acting in good faith nor fulfilling my... Read more »

If the vehicle is titled in Ohio, I recommend that you hold out for an answer from an attorney in Ohio. I am not, so I am going to give a brief answer based on Michigan law.
