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

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You need to call a probate lawyer to discuss the situation. Nothing is automatic, someone has to take steps to probate a deceased person's estate. If he had a surviving spouse, she would have priority and likely be his heir unless their is a will or the marriage was not long term. The state and county where your father owned property is where the probate would be initiated. If he owned no real property, the state where he died would be the proper place.

Can i block an Affidavit?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If you are not married, you get nothing.  You may think that you are "common law" married but that is very difficult to prove.

Can I change the locks of a home to a person who just died and has no will?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you are not a blood relative of this person, and his family is now coming to assert ownership of his property and belongings, you cannot legally change the locks of his home. Even without a will, a person's belongings pass by a law known as intestate succession, so the relatives coming out of the woodwork have a legal claim to the residence as well as any other items of value he left behind. They can assert this claim by filing a small estate affidavit in the county where your friend died.
