Without reading the documents you mention, no lawyer can advise you. Hire your own lawyer who can give you a legal opinion after he or she has reviewed the documents.

Your brother is already listed on all or almost all of your accounts as well as your other estate planning documents, at minimal he could easily serve as the Trustee related to your Revocable Trust and it should not be that demanding or difficult, worst case scenario he can decline to serve at the...

As in most things legal, you need an attorney to help you. Hire one.

Since this sounds contentious, you should consult with a few estate /probate attorneys in your area, discuss your specific case with them, and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. You need to do this so that you become aware of the options available to you.

Step 1: talk to the lienholder and determine the requirements.

Step 2: meet the lienholder's requirements.

In the world of probate 25 days is a very short period of time and no time at all really. Depending on the type of probate that is required, you could possibly be waiting months. Words and promises do not matter at all as it relates to a Will, only what was actually written into and put into the... View More

Probably. But without seeing the paperwork it's hard to say for sure.

No, simply give the financial institution where the account is deposited written instructions to that effect, signed by your daughter and her ex. Ask the financial institution if they have a form they require.

No, Florida requires signature, two witnesses and notarization, if this is not the case then it will not be a valid Will and the estate will be deemed Intestate and the Florida Intestate Statutes will apply to the probate. This means it will be important who survived your daughter and whether the... View More

Very sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences at this difficult time. In Florida, any interested person can pursue and commence a probate. If there is no Will, then the Florida Intestate Statutes (without a Will) are going to apply. If the father is nowhere to be found or interested you... View More

Very sorry for your loss and the passing or your daughter, please accept my condolences at this sad and difficult time. You are going to need to speak with a probate attorney in the state where the property is located. Generally speaking, especially if this is in Florida and this was your... View More

This is really a wills and estate planning issue. What you can do is contact an estate planning attorney in Florida and ask for assistance in drafting the POA document. If your son is not competent to understand and execute such document, then you may need to consider a guardianship proceeding.

Without a will, the estate is intestate and must follow the order of succession in the Florida probate code. Did your stepfather legally adopt you? Did he have any natural children or siblings? Are his parents alive? Unless you were legally adopted, you are not entitled to anything and the Probate... View More

This is an unusual question and does not appear to be applicable to family law. It sounds like you are a US Citizen who is attempting to also obtain Italian citizenship based upon the fact that you have Italian family/heritage. If this is correct, then it is not an immigration issue as you are... View More

Interesting question. However, this is not a family law question. I would suggest that you post either in civil or wills/trusts/estates. The issue may be governed by law, by a will, by the laws of the state of Florida, and/or by a contract with the cemetery. It does not sound like the type of... View More

No, not unless the attorney is licensed to practice in Indiana. Her Will and the laws governing her probate are all Indiana law; nothing to do with Florida.

If your mother conveyed the property to your brother before she died, the property is not in her estate and so you don't inherit it under her will. The $10 consideration recited in the will doesn't matter. If he then conveyed it to someone else, the validity of that conveyance is... View More

Unfortunately there is nothing that you, the buyers, can do. This is a usual and customary requirement and it is the seller’s obligation to fulfill it in order to deliver marketable and insurance title to you. If they can’t, they will probably need to go to court (which would not involve you)... View More

You can live in any facility that accepts that source of payment, which you said is Medicare, and has space available. (However, I suspect you meant to type Medicaid, but the answer would be the same. You can live in any facility that accepts Medicaid and has space available.)

You can usually do this online at the DMV site, otherwise you may need a probate attorney to help you if you need further help and guidance related to a court probate action, but in most instances the DMV has the forms online.
