Do I have any rights to my stepfather's estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Once your mother passed away, anything that she owned jointly with her husband became his property for him to do with as he wished. Hopefully, your mother had a will. If she left you her jewelry, it is yours and not her husband's. You can find out if either one of them left a will by calling the probate clerk's office in their county of residence. You can also file what's called a 'caveat,' which means if a probate is opened, you will automatically be notified. Meanwhile, I would call the stepsisters and mention that your mother's possessions are sentimental and ask to look through her stuff.

What do I do if I was removed as a beneficiary but was still asked to pay for the mortgage and bills?

This is a strange story. I would need to know a lot more about it to have any opinion. I would guess it involves a trust and possible a tenancy in common.

How long does it take for someone's estate to be settled?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In practical terms, it can't be done in less than six months (from the date of the petition for probate). My record longest is five years. It just depends on the facts and circumstances.
