How can I put my father’s property and vehicles in my name?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
The answer depends on what property your father had. If it is just vehicles, then you can use the vehicle title forms. If there are bank accounts, then you would likely use a small estate affidavit.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
That is a complicated question. You need to speak with an experienced estate attorney to go over homestead exemptions, policy ownership, policy amount, and available allowances as a surviving spouse under state law. There is not easy answer to your question, aside from you need to speak with an attorney to address options, which may include bankruptcy. Seek out legal assistance sooner rather than later.

Do I have any right to stop my older brothers from depleting my fathers account money?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Yes, you have standing to do several things. First, consider discussing your concerns with your parents, as they are generally presumed to be able to make their own decisions, including the decision to revoke any authority that they gave to each other, or to your siblings. Second, you might discuss these issues with an attorney that practices in guardianship and/or conservatorship, which could bring your concerns to the attention of a Court that is able to stem any wrongdoing and correct any past malfeasance. Third, you might consider contacting Adult Protective Services, or a similar local agency that encounters issues of elder abuse and financial exploitation on a daily basis.
