Brother estate placed in hands of temp rep by court

Robert W. Hughes
Answered by attorney Robert W. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
A temporary administrator can be appointed for both estates.  It would be unusual for one order to address two estates.  You should file to open your mother's estate so that it can receive the inheritance due it from your uncle's estate. A temporary administrator is not the way to proceed indefinitely.

What Can I Do if My Sister Has Power of Attorney and It Is Impacting My Fathers Care?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
You will have to go to the court and apply for a conservatorship of the person over your father. The court will appoint a person such as your self as the conservator if they deem it necessary for your father's well being.

Can my Niece appeal the judges decision?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jonathan James Wade (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Wade Law Office
The answer is "maybe." If you are following the provisions of the Will, and if the Will gives you, as Executor, the ability to select assets to be distributed to your niece under the Will, then the judge may rule in your favor. Your niece will likely have the right to appeal that decision. That does not mean she will win the appeal. If you are not working with an attorney in this matter, however, you really, really should be. Estate litigation is not a self-help situation. If you are already working with an attorney, then your attorney should be answering this question for you.  Good luck to you.
