How do I request information about my share of will or inheritance after my father passed away?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
If you have an interest in your father's estate, you can file an application for a probate administration, or file a contest if your brother or someone else has started one. However, if you have a trust, it is possible all of your father's assets were placed in trust and no probate is necessary. Look to real estate records to see if real property you think your father owned is actually in his name or in the name of a trustee. If everything is in trust and you are a beneficiary, you can sue the trustees for breach of fiduciary duty. If you are not a beneficiary , you may be out of luck.

Do I have to pay for my late mother's medical bills if I am the executor of her estate?

If your mother left behind any assets (bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds, etc.), those monies are to be used to pay her debts. If she did not, then the estate is insolvent and will be unable to pay her creditors. It's unclear from your question whether or not your mother left behind a last will & testament, but it's a good idea for you to consult with a local attorney familiar with estate planning for more guidance.
