Do I have any rights to my step dad's estate if I have been taking care of him?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Claims against an estate for family caregivers can be challenging to deal with, since there is rarely any sort of a formal agreement like you might find in any other creditor/debtor relationship. However, you may certainly have such a claim for reimbursement and you should seek the aid of a local probate attorney to assist you. With regard to the division of your step-father's estate, and whether or not you might be entitled to some part of it as an heir, the answer depends upon several facts that you don't really develop through your question. Again, a probate attorney can help you begin to sort through the issues and it sounds like there are many of them.

I would suspect that your mother will be asked to pay off the credit card judgment as part of the conditions for the reverse mortgage. She should speak with an attorney.
