Does this make the home community property given he added my name to the deed?

You need to look at the title of the house. If you're on the title, then you have an ownership interest. If you're not, then you may have only an equitable interest if you divorce. If you want to be sure, hire a title company or real estate lawyer to prepare a deed from him to both you and him.

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

Jonathan W. Barlow
Answered by attorney Jonathan W. Barlow
Estate Planning lawyer at Clear Counsel Law Group
In Nevada, a non-Nevada resident can serve as the personal representative of an estate in one of two ways. First, if there is a will that designates you to serve as the executor of the will, then you can serve as the executor of the will even if you do not live in Nevada. Second, if there is no will you can be appointed to serve as administrator of the estate but you will be required to have a Nevada resident serve with you as a co-administrator. In either situation, you will have to be otherwise qualified to serve, which means that you are an adult, that you do not have a disqualifying felony conviction, and that you do not have a conflict of interest or other reason that would make you unqualified to serve. In addition, if there is no will the Nevada statutes have a priority list of who is entitled to serve as the administrator of the estate. If there are individuals who have a higher priority to serve, you may not be entitled to serve if that person has also petitioned the court to be appointed. In any situation, it is important to consult with an experienced probate lawyer who practices primarily in probate law to ensure that you receive the best advice. An experienced probate lawyer will be able to guide you through all of these issues and ensure that your ability to serve as personal representative of the estate is protected.

How do you contest and recover money taken from an estate?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
It depends on what the "taking" was and who did the "taking". An estate is a person like any other. The representative of the estate can take any action that would appropriate in a circumstance that did not involve an estate. Do criminal charges need to be filed? Does a demand letter preparing for a lawsuit need to be sent? How would you handle it if your money had been taken? If the "taking" was performed by the representative, action in the court appointing the representative should handle it.
