As your question is worded, it is the estate. As is probably the case, it is the daughter. Most banks add the new signer on as an account owner. Therefore, if she is an account owner, the money is hers. If however, the bank truly added her as having signatory power, but not ownership, then the... Read more »

Assuming you are talking about a Georgia probate matter, if you never took your oath, you were never issued Letters Of Administration. Therefore, there is nothing to invalidate.

First, you need to hire a probate attorney to probate your grandfather’s estate and get the property into your dad’s and uncle’s names. After that your dad and uncle can sign a deed transferring the property to you. You should hire a real estate attorney to help you do that correctly.
How long is a piece of string? Not trying to be smart, but if the trustee agrees, it could take about 10 minutes. If the trustee fights removable, it might drag on for many, many years because of court calendars, etc.
I was told it did not. She was not married and both sons died before her. In her will she left her property to a Nephew who was taking care of her and he died before her as well. The will specifically states that if he pre-deceased her the property comes back to the estate. Her home has a... Read more »

You need to contact a probate attorney to resolve her estate.
You would need to speak with a probate attorney to discuss your options. Your next steps will greatly depend on the nature of the assets that your father left behind. My condolences on your loss.
I can't help you because I am not a criminal law attorney. I am just writing to observe that no attorney in this forum can answer this question without knowing what the charges are.
Driving under suspended lisence and didnt actually know they were suspended. Im on first offender felony probation. Would i have to see the judge that assigned the probation. What would i say to him if he is mean?
Any violation of the law while you are on probation can cause your probation sentence to be revoked and the judge to sentence you to jail. Driving with a suspended license is a misdemeanor, so it is not as bad as if you got a new felony. However, depending on the judge, the judge may revoke you to... Read more »

The company put the money in an account for them which I cannot touch. I need access to this money for daily living expenses since I can no longer collect child support. What, if anything, can I do?
The companies should not have placed the money into accounts for the children. You should file for a conservatorship and claim the money. You also should be getting social security checks for the children to replace the child support. You should seek the help of a lawyer with knowledge of these... Read more »

Because your mother died without a will, there are no considerations given for what she told others she wanted. Nor do her handwritten notes have any bearing on how her estate is to be distributed. You are required to distribute 1/3 of the estate to her spouse and divide the remaining 2/3 among... Read more »
