I would first like to extend my sympathy regarding the loss of your father. The short answer to your question is yes. You should file a claim against the estate in probate. Sending out a "bill" to your sister is not sufficient. In order to protect your claim a properly filed claim... View More

Does court or lawyer bring this up when stored in as exector about my fees
answered on Dec 27, 2021
If you are the executor, you pay yourself the executor fees from the estate. The court does not pay you the fee. The court does not tell you to take the fee. That is something you need to handle with full disclosure to the beneficiaries.

The answer to your question is very simple. With all the respect I can muster, you MUST meet with a real estate attorney to ensure that this effort is done properly. If it isn't, you will forever regret your mistake.
My mom had no will.She has no estate or assets besides her car. My sister says i can have the car. do we need to probate?
answered on Nov 6, 2021
How do you plan to get title to the car? You may still have to do a small estate probate. Did your mom own any real estate? I suggest you do a consultation with an estate attorney.

You will need to hire an attorney to pursue the policy benefit. It may require a Probate or an Affidavit as who the Next of Kin are. Filing Suit for Breach of Contract and Bad Faith, with a Complaint to the Insurance Regulatory Agency for the State, may all be necessary.

My baby brother needs a vehicle. He asked my sister about moms car. And she said $1000. Is this correct.
answered on Sep 19, 2021
Your sister must follow the will. If there is no Will, then the court will have to appoint an Administrator to handle the estate. The court will appoint whomever the majority of heirs selects to be administrator.
Mom’s husband is my stepdad when she passed away he is selling all assets pocketing all the money I have one sibling and we are both My mothers biological children thanks
answered on Sep 13, 2021
If he is selling assets, it sounds like his name is on the accounts along with your mom. Otherwise, he would not be able to sell the assets. Therefore, you need to figure out if his name is no the accounts you are worried about.
"Heir" is deceased. Family decided widow is not a legal heir, so descended to children. Family insists property MUST be held jointly, giving control to one child, avoiding any input from other heir.
answered on Sep 4, 2021
First of all, the exact language in the will controls. Usually, just one sentence from the will is not sufficient to interpret the will. That said, the spouse is an heir, and is the primary heir. Assuming multiple children exist as heirs, they all stand on equal footing and the property should be... View More

I filed an Objection, however I do not have the means for an attorney. Can I withdraw my objection or does it matter at this point? Also, does that mean that there will not be any probate if she is awarded the entire estate?
answered on Aug 26, 2021
She will get everything she asked for unless you fight it. There will be no probate filed if she includes all assets on the petition for year's support.
