You should contact a probate attorney to help you with this. I'd be happy to help. His estate will most likely receive the 2/3 depending on how far apart he died from your grandmother. Depending on if your dad was married, how many kids he had, and whether it was a first or second marriage... View More

A couple of things:

If your dad died first with no will, the laws of intestacy would apply which in MOST states would mean your step mother would inherit much of his estate.

The laws of the State YOUR FATHER lived in at the time he passed would apply, and that would also be the... View More

As of now, all three heirs are responsible for the house since it is in your name I assume after probate. You can sign over the house but I would at least have him buy it from you. Totally your call.

It depends on how title to the property is being held in the deed. You should contact an attorney.

If the car is in the decedent's name, it is a fairly easy matter for the personal representative or executor to get a duplicate title at DMV; and, yes, unless the car was titled into a trust or otherwise not in the decedent's name, the car is part of the estate, though there are expedited...

If the home was purchased during the marriage and you didn't sign some sort of consent otherwise, the house is probably already yours subject to selling it to meet estate debts. It is fairly easy to update the deed to reflect your title, and a lawyer can help with that fairly inexpensively.... View More

Your question is too hard to understand as stated, and you should see a lawyer to discuss your situation. But, it does seem you are asking whether a person holding a power of attorney has continuing power after their principal dies. That is clear: a power of attorney dies when the principal dies...

You need to consult with an attorney. Depending on the facts could determine if you have a claim against the fiduciary of the estate.

The Estate is liable. The Executor is not liable.

If the estate was probated, then it can't be 'reopened' because his wife has passed. HER will / estate plan / intestacy now controls the assets that were passed to her in his probate in 2015, and unless there were a 'life estate' with a reversion after she passed embodied... View More

It depends on whether there is a Will, what the Will says, where the property lies, the precise title to the property, whether the proceeds are needed to pay the decedent's or the estate's debts, and, in some cases, when the decedent died. For Virginia property, you might try reading... View More

This needs to be reviewed by a lawyer who practices probate law in the county where your parents lived. Is there a valid Will? Is there a living trust, and is the house in it? If one child paid off the lien, that may entitle them to contribution, but it doesn't entitle them to the house.

No. If the heir post-deceased, his share goes to his heirs or beneficiaries, who may be, but often aren't, his grantor's heirs.

I can't understand your question as phrased. I need to see both wills and any correspondence that makes them mutual or reciprocal. You need to act promptly to protect any rights you may have. Make an appointment with a lawyer for an hour consult, and bring the wills.

You should consult an attorney in the local jurisdiction where your father passed so that you can discuss all the specific facts and details relevant to your situation.

There is no "right" to be included in a will. It was the decedent's will and (subject to very limited exceptions) the decedent has the right to dispose of their property however they want. You should consult privately with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation.

Yes, your boyfriend can continue his probation in another state as long as he has his VA probation officer's permission. That officer will tell him exactly what he needs to do. He will need to report to a probation officer in Tennessee.

You should contact an experienced probate lawyer in the state where the probate is filed (and presumably is the situs of the Trust). He or she will have to review the Trust and probate documents and the communications from the executor in order to advise you. Many offer free initial consultations.

Did you also check the Probate Court in your mother's county? Frequently they 'store' wills for people who request that service. It may also be in a safe deposit box (even though that is a REALLY bad place to store a will!) Has someone actually GONE THROUGH all here papers and her... View More

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

As for your specific question, you are an 'interested party' because of your familial relationship so you HAVE to get notice even if you are not receiving anything. You are entitled to receive notices, including a copy of the will which will... View More
