Is there a case if the P.R. only told one heir about the info and not the other?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Unless the PR has prior experience, it may be just that she - and you as well - doesn't have a clear understanding of her duties yet. Ideally, she would have gathered all of your late father's assets and debts, including the insurance policy, and made arrangements with the insurance company to continue the policy, paying the premium from the assets of the estate. As you and your brother both paid the premium, she should contact the insurance company and try to get one of the premiums returned.

How does an estate be disseminated if the deceased didn't have a will?

Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
If a person dies without a Will, the state makes a Will for them with default provisions. First the creditors are paid; then the remainder is transferred to the spouse and children if any; if none then to the parents of the decedent; if none living, to the siblings. All of this is described in the state statutes under Intestate Estates.
