What can I do to get my mother's remains from my grandmother?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Does your mother's Will address her remains? Does it dispose of them to anyone? Who is named to serve as her Executrix/Executor. If it is her mother, you will have a difficult and possibly unwinnable battle. If not, then you may have a better chance of success. In either event, I suggest that you speak with a probate attorney about the issues, possible remedies and costs associated with bringing an action to recover the remains.

Is there a form that allows one child to make decisions or a letter and does it need to be notarized?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
That depends on the property that your father had at the time of death. There may be some issues you can address without a court order and some that may require court intervention. To answer your question, there are some things that you can execute to allow one child.
