How do I request information about my share of will or inheritance after my father passed away?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
If you have an interest in your father's estate, you can file an application for a probate administration, or file a contest if your brother or someone else has started one. However, if you have a trust, it is possible all of your father's assets were placed in trust and no probate is necessary. Look to real estate records to see if real property you think your father owned is actually in his name or in the name of a trustee. If everything is in trust and you are a beneficiary, you can sue the trustees for breach of fiduciary duty. If you are not a beneficiary , you may be out of luck.

Is an un-notarized will valid?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
The will is still valid if it was signed by two witnesses. However, without a notary, you will need to provide an affidavit from one of the witnesses or take other steps to authenticate the signature.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
If your father died without leaving a Will, his property would not pass to his girlfriend or to his brother. If either individual has taken items belonging to your father's estate, they could be found liable for the value of the property taken. If you believe that it would take legal action to correct the situation, you should understand that you would first need to establish your role as an heir of your father. Depending on the value of the property taken, and a whole lot of other factors, the cost of the process might just outweigh the value of the property that you're seeking.
