Can I invoice the estate for my labor?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
As an executor, you are entitled to compensation by the probate code. Usually, it's five percent of non-liquid assets. Your attorney should be able to handle that for you.

Can I change the locks of a home to a person who just died and has no will?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you are not a blood relative of this person, and his family is now coming to assert ownership of his property and belongings, you cannot legally change the locks of his home. Even without a will, a person's belongings pass by a law known as intestate succession, so the relatives coming out of the woodwork have a legal claim to the residence as well as any other items of value he left behind. They can assert this claim by filing a small estate affidavit in the county where your friend died.

How to get out of a will?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Typically, the government will sue "in rem" which means that they will only go after your interest in the house, and not after you personally. You can also sue to force the sale of the house and get your 1/4 value out of it.
