You will need to file a substitution of attorney in the proper person. The self help center will have forms that you can use to achieve that objective.
I’m going to file the set aside and mail her notice and wondering if I will get the entire estate if she doesn’t file an objection or will the court just automatically give her half without her showing up in court or objecting. We haven’t seen her for 30 years so the chance of her responding... Read more »
If your father died without a Will and the "estranged" daughter is his biological daughter and you and she are the only children he ever had and he died unmarried, she gets half of his estate just like you. If you fail to mention her in paperwork you file you will be committing a fraud.... Read more »

I believe you might benefit from speaking to an estate planning attorney regarding this question.
Do the cousins have any claim on the intestate’s estate? Intestate residency is NV and cousins in NC and MD.
The cousins have a claim if they are blood relatives which means that there is a common ancestor of the cousin and the deceased. I think under a strict definition of cousins, they are always blood relatives, but with divorces and blended families the term cousin may be used loosely.
I was told not to come to hearing unless i objected to the sale. I thought the house was to be sold to me so i didnt go. The house was sold to some one else. I had no representation at hearing to counter offer any offers at that time. I have signed contract, sent earnst money which was cashed then... Read more »
The short answer to your question is: Likely not.
Sale of real property through the probate process subject to court confirmation is ALWAYS subject to overbid in the in-court auction. Your signed contract, despite the estate accepting your offer, is still considered an "offer"... Read more »

Do you have a court order appointing you executor and Letters testamentary? If so, present those two court filed pleadings and the bank should allow you to open the estate account, not trust. If not, you may need to open a probate estate through the courts. I encourage you to speak with a Nevada... Read more »

This question cannot be answered without more information. Do yourself a huge favor and schedule a consultation with a probate attorney in the vicinity of where the probate is taking place. Do not delay. There are important deadlines that you do not want to miss.
No, it is not illegal, but it may not be a good idea. There a lot of issues to consider: insurance, damage, possible eviction of tenant; probate completing before the end of the lease, difficult to sell if necessary, possibly needing court approval to allow a tenant; objection by beneficiaries,...

If you suspect foul play then you need to immediately retain an estate litigation attorney to discuss all details of this case. The other thing you should do is check with the attorney that wrote the old will to see if he updated it. If that yields nothing, then see if you can determine who his... Read more »
Since I live out state how do I petition the state for her house property?
You will need to hire a Nevada lawyer to probate her estate. If she was married and her spouse was not the murderer there would be a split of her estate between her children and spouse unless her estate is less than $100,000 in which case it would probably all go to her spouse.

The Affidavit of Small Estates should work. First, you do not file the Affidavit of Entitlement.

What I'm curious about is... Read more »
You should contact an attorney familiar with trusts and estates that can review the two trusts you make reference to and provide legal guidance. You don't mention the type of trust (revocable, irrevocable, etc.), and you mentioned the merging of the trusts and dissolution (of I guess trust B).... Read more »
He is not lucid. Is there a way for my mother (they are married) to get durable power of attorney over him or is there another option? She is looking to refinance her home at a lower interest rate so that she can afford to stay there after he passes.
Unfortunately as your father is not lucid, he cannot sign a Power of Attorney. Your mom would have to get a guardianship over him through the Court. This all takes time and expense and the Court would have to consent to refinancing the house.
After your dad passes your mom should be able... Read more »
