Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Answered by attorney Gerald A Bagazinski (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gerald A. Bagazinski
You can be appointed personal representative even if you live in another state but you will need a resident agent to accept any service of process. You should contact an attorney to discuss this matter and see if they would be willing to serve as resident agent. The probate court may also require a bond.

How can I go about making a free will?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Write out your wishes in your own writing, date it and sign it, and you are done. Make sure that everyone knows where to find your Will in the event of your death. (This is not the BEST way to make a Will.) It is the cheapest, however. An attorney can advise you as to whether there are better planning tools available for you. Many people prefer to avoid probate, for example, and you cannot do that with a Will.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Geoffrey Nathan Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
You may very well have a valid legal claim and the time limit for bringing this claim has likely already started running. The answer to your question depends on whether or not your father left a will or a trust. If he did not, and there was no surviving spouse, you would have certain rights under the law to a portion of your father's estate, and perhaps even all of it. In such a case, you would have recourse against your uncle and your father's girlfriend for taking the property. You should consult with an attorney experienced in probate matters as soon as possible to discuss the details.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
