Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Edwin George Fee
Answered by attorney Edwin George Fee (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston L.L.P.
Living outside Maryland does not prevent you from serving as personal representative of a Maryland estate, but you will have to designate a Maryland resident as your resident agent.

Can I have financial claim on someone whom I took care and recently died?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You may file a creditor's claim in his estate. The estate can then either accept or reject the claim. If rejected, you would need to initiate litigation to have your claim reviewed or file in the probate court for a determination if that is an available option.

If my father passed away in one state and I live in another and he had no property of assets, what do I do as his legal executor?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
He passed away in California, California law will control. In Texas you would have a problem. Why did you think you were his legal executor if there was no will or probate proceeding appointing you? While people do start collecting the assets of the deceased right away (frequently to pay final expenses), until appointed, you do not have the right to do so. Taking the assets may be theft. You may need to get all of your receipts together to demonstrate where the money went. You will have a problem since you found cash in the hoard. You will not be able to prove the amount you found. Your step siblings may always hold out that it was more than it really was.
