It's likely that this is something going on in his father's estate proceeding. There are a number of reasons that the property is being sold. He should hire an attorney to find out what is going on and to protect his interest.
It is not clear what your question is. What kind of policy, what is the designation, and what are you using it for?
Passed away as well. The law firm told me that the attorney put the wrong legal description on her mineral rights. Is the law firm responsible for correcting this for me?
The liability of the law firm could depend on a number of factors that are not revealed in your question: The nature of the mistake and how it occurred. Any complicity in the mistake by your mother. How long ago this happened. The relationship between the firm and the attorney. If you... Read more »

Well first, the house is sold and there is nothing to do about that assuming it was sold to someone not related. As far as your portion of the sale/estate, this would have all been completed during the probate procedure. If your sister did not fulfill her legal obligation then you 'may or... Read more »

I hired an attorney years ago to ask my brother about my mom's living trust.
To this day, my brother refuses to acknowledge that I'm a beneficiary and won't release funds.
My attorney said that my brother thinks he's above the law. He's a doctor. I'm... Read more »
Without the assistance of a competent attorney then you could be waiting a long time for any recovery from your mothers estate. I am not saying just give up, but you will need wise counsel in resolving your issue.
It say i have execited a waiver of objection to appointment of special administrator and waiver will be filed contemporaneously herein what dose this mean
It appears that a probate case has been (or is about to be) filed to allow your father's estate to be handled through probate, and your aunt is requesting that the Court appoint her as Special Administrator (giving her certain powers under the law to act on behalf of the estate). It sounds... Read more »
I am a beneficiary to a trust that possibly had roylity rights to a property to which have been subject to fraud. I am also the beneficiary residing in another State.
You would need to research the land records covering the land, which are found in the county clerk's office of the county where the lands are located. Oil and gas titles can be very complicated. You could hire an oil and gas attorney or an oil and gas landman to do the search.
The deceased journal consists of the owners name and has dates. Then also the journal is about their everyday life and ideas.
It is not likely, but it is theoretically possible. Take the journal to a probate attorney to be reviewed.
The grandparents are taking things from the house and they say the house is theirs just because they have the deed (that isn't in their name). My boyfriend just turned 18 and has no idea what to do or who to talk to. Also the property value is under 50,000
If mom died single (unmarried), the grandparents most likely have no right to the property they are taking. Your boyfriend and his siblings, if any, would be the mom's heirs but the grandparents would not. Taking possession of a deed that has been recorded in the land records would not... Read more »
Do I have any legitimate claim if it had been the understanding by all parties ? Sister has POA and mother is alive and we’re both aware of his wishes.but denying my receipt of the asset. What recourse do I have .
In a very vague answer, anything that is not specified in the will goes to the estate for distribution. If the RV is not listed anywhere, then the RV would pass to your mother as the surviving spouse due to it being marital property. There are always exceptions to the general rules and you should...

There is an appraisal requirement for all gifts in excess of $5000. That applies to where you give similar items of property where the total value is above $5,000.

Because she was the wife at the time. Should she automatically get half? Since that time, it has been only my mom, me, and youngest sister on... Read more »
I can't fully answer this without more information. However, if your father had a Will when he died and that Will was admitted to probate then the terms of the Will dictate how the property is distributed. If he died without a will then his wife will acquire 1/2 of the property acquired by... Read more »
No new will was drafted, but the husband dies unexpectedly in 2020. What does Oklahoma law say this wife is legally entitled to? Or will she have to sell the home she lives in because it is part of the assets mentioned in the 2017 will?
I am sorry for your loss. The answer first may depend upon how the title to the house was held. I have assumed that the house was in the name of the husband only. I have also assumed there is no antenuptial agreement, which may also affect the answer. there will need to be an administration of the... Read more »

I have assumed that the property is in Oklahoma. Creditors would have to establish their claim against the estate through the probate court.

Step Daughter suing deceased's spouse for estate management after spouse sold property to us back in December 2019. We are still in process of purchase. One lot is in deceased's name and two are in both names.

If the stock remains in the grandmother's name then the stock would be subject to the administration of her estate, not your father's. That being said, if her estate leaves the property to your father, then his estate would come into play. You would need to investigate the administration... Read more »

That transaction might not be the best if the property has increased in value. By using a "Transfer on Death Deed" the father will obtain his objective of transferring the home to children outside of probate. Also, if he will need a nursing home but cannot afford it, the transaction... Read more »
Is this legal
No, as his spouse, you are the next of kin. Ask her to give it back, or you will file a police report. Good luck.
