What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The person named in father's will needs to petition the court to be appointed personal representative. Probate should be started in the county he called home, or where he had assets; if there is real property, there will have to be a probate in that state. Get a lawyer to help with this process. It is far less expensive to do it right from the beginning than to fix it after the fact.

Can the executor close a bank account?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Powers of Attorney are terminated by the death of the principal. After that person dies, a Power of Attorney should neither be used or accepted. An executor, administrator or personal representative of the decedent's estate, has the authority to act with respect to an account owned by the decedent. In virtually every case, this person must actually be appointed (by the Court) to this position. Many individuals believe that this authority simply springs from the Will itself, without the Court's involvement, and they are wrong. Once appointed, the executor will typically need to show proof of his or her appointment to the third-party (like a bank). Letters Testamentary are routinely issued by the Clerk to demonstrate evidence of this appointed authority, and these Letters are typically all that is required, although some financial institutions might also request a Death Certificate.

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 James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It depends. Has this gone through probate and been distributed to the heirs, already? Or is the property still in the estate? If it is in the estate, then the Personal Representative can sell without getting ANYONE else's consent.
