What can I do to stop the father's brother from removing property?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Go in there and take pictures. When the estate is opened, have the judge sign an order compelling your uncle to account for what he took. Meanwhile, go in there and secure any remaining items of value and get the lock changed on the house. You will have to open a probate estate to deal with the house and its contents and any accounts that were titled in your father's name. You should contact a lawyer for that.

Does a will become invalid if the residence changes states?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
No, the will is valid if it was properly executed in the State it originated from. However, you may want to consult an attorney anyway b/c some of your assumptions may be incorrect. For example, Florida has a unique homestead law. There may also be differences in exempt property, executor requirements, etc. Advance directives such as living wills, durable powers of attorney and health surrogates may also be different.

What are my duties and rights as an executor of fathers will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
More information is needed. How were the accounts titled? Were they in joint names or in your father's name alone? If they were in your father's name alone, your mother's actions were illegal. You are not actually the executor, (we call them Personal Representatives in Michigan), unless and until you have been appointed by the probate court, to serve as such. If there are no other assets, it is likely that your mother would have been entitled to the money, anyway. So this may be a situation where, although she acted improperly, there is no harm, no foul.
