Esp if some children have passed and the remaining do not agree? What needs to happen to transfer the deed out of the parents name?

You will have to open or reopen probate and get appointed as executrix or administrator of their estates so you can execute a new deed.
The car is paid for, & she was the sole owner with no spouse or children or will.

You will have to file the full probate as a dispense with administration is not available to a niece. Sorry for the bad news.
Them after I get their due to being afraid they are just gonna lock me up instead of agreeing with going to rehab and allowing me.

You need to work with your officer. If you go off the grid they can arrest you. Probation and parole is in charge with supervising you and you have to abide by their rules and their timetable.

You are not an executor or executrix unless snd until appointed by the court. Whether it’s worth filing for probate depends on the assets and property of the estate. Consular an estate planning or probate lawyer to determine whether you should or must open probate.
I have been doing research n have found that I don’t think it was ever properly done. The probate in either dads or mamaws estate.

You need a local attorney who has access to all the necessary information.
There are 4 siblings, sister executor, my sister and I are the only ones who worked to update house, in hopes of fast sell. Sister promised me 1/2 of executor payment for doing the updates.

File a proof of claim in the probate case with receipts and itemizations for all the work you did and all the materials you bought.
distributed to heirs?? Will the court come after the administrator??
answered on Jan 16, 2023
Yes. They could sanction the administrator, remove the administrator or make the administrator pay the cost of finalizing the estate because the estate must be properly closed..
My dad is a veteran who lived in KY with my adult brother and his autistic son. His house is in his name. He has almost no assets ( 14 year old car and paid off double wide trailer). He has a will and left trailer to myself and brother with contingency that my brother can continue living there.... Read more »

Probate is probably a bad option with little assets and debt out there. You can check the Courts in the Father's County to see if there are any money judgements out there against him which might also be a lien. Consult a KY attorney for advice about the trailer title. Remember someone has... Read more »

Yes. Your brother can sell it and the new owner can have you removed. With no will, mothers estate will be divided among her children so you will have to either buy out their shares or sell your share and receive the money.
My question is what steps do I need to do to receive my check now? I am an heir and not the executor. Is there a time limit for me to get it? And if I ask now for it and don’t receive it, then what is my next step to get it? Thank you
answered on Dec 8, 2022
You should receive your check two to four weeks after final approval of the order.
Do heirs have to sign anything before they receive their inheritance check? I have no idea what to expect. Thank you
answered on Dec 8, 2022
Wait for the disbursement of your share which should occur within 14-30 days after finality.
Weeks before I might receive it. The final settlement has already been signed by the judge. So all is left is distribution of funds. I want my check now so why would I have to keep waiting? I’m ready to get this over with It has been 8 long months since all this started. What reasons would there... Read more »

It usually takes 14-30 days after the order is final before disbursement. Quite a bit more is involved than the dimple writing of the check.
What paperwork will they want me to sign? And can they refuse me my money if I choose not to sign anything other than a receipt for my money? If they refuse what steps do I need to take next?
answered on Nov 21, 2022
You shouldn’t have to sign anything other than a receipt that you have received the funds. If you don’t receive the funds, you will have to make a motion to hold the disbursing agent in contempt.
I went and filed it anyway on my own. After I filed the next day I fired my lawyer. Is there any repercussions against me for doing this?

No. Just go to the hearing and tell the judge your questions or concerns and get a response. No repercussions.
If is not been filed formal what steps do I need to get this filed formal? And if it is formal and there is information not on the final settlement what steps do I need to take to make sure everything is listed? Thank you

The district court probate clerk. Unless everyone signed a waiver of settlement, it must be file formally.
Probate said I need to get all his biological children over 18 to sign off on it but his 3 older ones won't saying they would be signing their rights away to my house. But deed states that if either of us dies first house goes to surviving spouse. Do they have right to my house in my passing... Read more »

They have no right to you house as it passed to you pursuant to the deed. Ask if you can do a dispense with administration. If not, you will have to file to open probate and get appointed administratrix in order to sell the bike. In any event, his adult children probably get nothing.
I have not received any documents saying it was. The only thing I know is a formal accounting was filed. Does that mean it’s formal?
answered on Nov 8, 2022
There is no formal probate or informal probate. Those terms apply to the final settlement only. Go to your district court clerks office and ask for a copy of the settlement. Informal basically means that everyone waived a formal account and formal means they didn’t so all supporting... Read more »

He can always execute a new Will, but disappointed legatees/devisees might contest the Will when Probated. The argument is a mutual will under contract, but it is hard to prove and win on. It can also be hard to effectively revoke the existing document, if he does not have possession of it.

Find out why he won’t file it and then make a decision to file anyway, not file or hire a new lawyer.
