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

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
It depends upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the following: Whether he left a Will naming you as his personal representative. If he left a Will naming you, the answer is probably yes, assuming you meet all state law requirement. If he names another person, then the answer is probably not. If he did not leave a Will, it again depends upon state law. In Nevada, a personal representative who is not named in a Will cannot serve without an in state co-personal representative. Some states do not have a residency requirement.

Heirs are not responsible for paying a decedent's debts. Hopefully the life insurance is payable to one of you, not to his estate. In the latter case, the $ coming into his estate would be available to pay creditors before it got to you guys.
