Does marraige change a will?

Hi there, The estate will be distributed according to the Will, but your step-mother can file a right of election, which means she will be entitled to $50K or 1/3 of the net estate, whichever is greater.  Alice Choi, Esq. (achoi@novicklawgroup.com)

Can you use items in an estate without permission that do not belong to you?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It really depends. The personal representative ("executor" is an old term you are in Oregon, right?) has the possession and control of estate property. This doesn't necessarily include the right to use the property; sometimes the PR drives a car that's in the estate; sometimes the PR is even living in a house owned by the estate. As a devisee of the estate, you have to look at what harm may be coming of this. Is it really a problem? Is the PR driving a car that belongs to the estate uninsured? Has the PR been living in the house for three years and still hasn't tried to sell it? Those are problems. Did the PR borrow a lawnmower that's in the estate, to mow his own lawn? That's not necessarily a problem.

How does one stop a court proceeding?

Most likely, one has to file a motion with the court to dismiss the action, and state with evidence the reason why the action should be dismissed.
