Are the Executor and the Lawyer supposed to be the only persons that discuss the estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jonathan James Wade (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Wade Law Office
In general, other family members (at least ones who are heirs or beneficiaries) are entitled to receive information about the estate, and it is quite common for the executor and the executor's lawyer to provide information to other family members. The lawyer should be careful, however, not to make family members believe that they can rely on the lawyer's legal advice - if the lawyer is the executor's lawyer, at least in Georgia, the lawyer does not represent the heirs or beneficiaries and should advise them that they should consult their own attorneys if they have questions about their rights or interests other than general status updates or the provision of information regarding the estate or steps being taken with regard to it.

My wife’s father passed away and someone is driving the car with out permission (in Georgia) the car has gone missing on a few occasions

Loraine M. DiSalvo
Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
If you can't find the original Will, there may not be one. Assuming a reasonable attempt to find a Will has been made, someone should likely seek Letters of Administration as if there were no Will. That will let you get an administrator appointed for the estate. It may also let someone get appointed as a temporary administrator who can then legally get control over estate assets. As for the car, someone needs to get the keys locked up and away from the person who keeps taking it, if that's possible. It sounds like you know who it is. If you can't get the keys away from that person, then someone needs to have the car taken to a place that the person who has a key to it can't get to- like another person's locked garage. If you can't move the car, then you may want to try disabling it temporarily, so that it can't easily be driven- remove a wheel or two, take out the battery, etc, if that's possible. You are right to be concerned about someone driving the car without permission- if there is a crash that involves the car, there could be a lot of trouble, and the insurance company may not cover any damages.

If my father signs something in writing for a quit claim deed will this stop my sister from recording hers?

Lorenzo L. Angelino
Answered by attorney Lorenzo L. Angelino
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Lorenzo L. Angelino
This may be troublesome since you had notice of the prior deed to your sister and could result in a litigated dispute, NY is a Race-Notice state, meaning that not only does the first person to record a deed trump all other deeds, but that person also has to have no notice of any conflicting deeds. The earlier quitclaim deed to your sister is a conflicting deed.
