Can they harass me for not going to probate court if property left is less than $5,000?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
Yes, your sibling can make trouble for you over this. If you did not go to probate court you have essentially stolen money from the estate. For an estate of this size you could most likely file a small estate affidavit with the court. You would account for expenses for cleaning and settling the estate, pay your father's bills and split the remainder with your sibling.

If you are not married, then only if he left you something in his will. If he did not, then you are probably not entitled to anything.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

You will have to provide more details for a firm answer, but in general if it is his debt only it will be a claim against his estate, and no others. Now is the time to put a plan in place and review his, and your mother's situation. Make an appointment with my offices, or call an attorney with all of the facts for specific advise and counsel.
