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

Vincent A. Liberti
Answered by attorney Vincent A. Liberti (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Halloran & Sage LLP
I assume you mean as the personal representative or Executor. If so, it depends upon the state's rules. Some states yes; some no. If your father is alive, your father may sign a durable power of attorney appointing you as his agent to handle financial matters. He also could put you on title of his accounts or draft a trust, transfer his assets to the trust while also appointing you as trustee.

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

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
Your father does not have an estate unless he is dead or has been declared incapacitated by a court. You can act as the administrator of an estate from out of state if you name an attorney as your local agent. The court may prefer a local administrator, if one is available and not disqualified to serve.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
No. You will need to petition to the probate court for an order the court will sign for her; however, in the petition you will want to request the court to assess fees and costs against her for an unreasonable refusal to agree to the sale and to charge her share of the sale proceeds for the fees and costs. The title company will want either her signature or a court order clearing your right to sell the property. Lastly, you could as a group , propose to purchase her share, but may have to pay a premium.
