How do I get half of whatever money my family member left?

Answered by attorney Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
Based on your question, it sounds as if there is a probate proceeding pending. If this is the case, you can file a petition with the court asking that the judge order your sister to provide a complete accounting and, if she refuses to cooperate, to remove her as the personal representative of the estate. This is assuming, of course, that you are indeed a beneficiary of the estate (i.e., you were specifically named in the will or you are an heir-at-law if there was no will). You may wish to speak with a Wisconsin attorney regarding your legal options within this estate.

How do I buy my mother's house after she died without a will?

Answered by attorney Jay William Moreland (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jay W. Moreland, P.A.
You need to set up an appointment with an attorney. It is likely that the home was your mother's homestead. If so, you would need a court order that establishes that. The homestead passes by operation of law to your mother's heirs (likely you and your sister). If it is not homestead, the property will have to pass through her estate to you and your sister. In either case you will need an attorney to help you with this. Once the property is in your name and your sister's name, the credit union should be willing to deal with you.

How do I cash the refund check from my deceased mother's auto insurance?

Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Estate Planning lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
You need to consult with a probate attorney on commencing a probate action. Also, power of attorney does not survive the death of the principal.
