You should have been conducting discovery in order to prove that the year's support is unwarranted. This will be a real trial sort of like you see on TV. You really ought to have a lawyer although at this point, it might be too late.

You did not mention whether your children are adults or minors. If adults, they need to file a petition for settlement of accounts with the probate court that issued letters. You probably should consult with an attorney specializing in probate work for assistance.

If a deed was given to your father for the 1.5 acres, then it is your father's land. You should have a real estate lawyer run title on the land to ensure your father owns what he thinks he owns.

Her deceased grandfather (my father) had taken out the $100,000 policy. She had less than $1000 to her name. My ex-wife had to file a small estate (?) because the hospital was billing her. My daughter was 31 years old and passed away last December.
