I would like to express my condolences for the loss of your father. From the information you provided, I assume that your Father did not have a will at the time of his death.

Your question leaves me wondering if there is a trust or a will? To file a claim for a full accounting in probate court, the will must have been filed, admitted to probate and no less than 6 months have passed since the executor was appointed. If you are looking for an accounting for a trust... View More

You can get an adult guardianship if you can prove that he cannot care for himself. Talk to local attorneys where he lives and discuss with them your chances of getting him declared incompetent and taking guardianship over him.

You may consider filing a Petition to declare the child a delinquent. Talk to a competent attorney, many will charge a fee for a consult. But it is certainly worth it to have direction and options even if you don't retain the attorney.

Are you the mother? Whatever you do, don't take legal advice from a Caseworker. You need to consult with an attorney before this gets out of hand.

YES. This needs to be dealt with appropriately before you give away your rights to your father's land. Please contact an attorney specializing in probate work before it is too late.

It’s a criminal trespass, burglary 1st degree and theft by taking charge but they on probation with out bond
answered on Nov 18, 2018
A motion to lift a probation hold and for a probation bond must be filed by an attorney with experience in criminal cases. We can file these the day we are hired and often get a decision within days. If we can’t get probation to agree to it then we go to the hearing and fight for our client!

The probate court in MI gave me guardianship because the mother can not be found and the fathers are in prison. He only gave me 30 days to transfer the case.

It is easier to transfer guardianship from some states to others, but some states require you to start over. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of your case in detail and help you plan the proper course of action to make the transfer. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558...

Possibly. There are a number of variables to determine who will be entitled to any property left behind by your daughter. You should consult with a probate attorney to discuss the specific facts and circumstances of your daughter's estate to determine your rights.
answered on Oct 23, 2018
I don't know that any formality is necessarily required. A simple statement by the named executor, notarized and filed with the clerk's office ought to do it.
Unfortunately, my brother and I are unable to be in the same place at the same time to close out my father's bank account. If he renounces his duties as executor would this effect anything else? His life insurance benefits? We have full trust in each other... it is strictly a logistical issue.

The renunciation must be in a writing signed by your brother and his signature must be notarized. The renunciation must be filed with the probate court.... View More
