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

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Varies from case to case, but anywhere from a year or more, depending on whether assets have to be converted to cash, whether beneficiaries and other interest parties are fighting.

What rights do I have to my life partners estate? How?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Unmarried partners should ALWAYS have wills. The basic answer is no, you have no rights in his estate. The things that you bought jointly, unless there is a written instrument saying they are held as joint tenants with right of survivorship, are owned as tenants in common: you own half, and your partner's estate owns half. His family can't just come in and get things; if they try, call the cops. That's called "stealing." They can open probate, and then the personal representative can demand your partner's share of the things you and (s)he owned. Rather than go down that road, you might want to offer to deliver to them those things which are family heirlooms, or which have personal significance for his or her siblings or parents.

How do I get half of whatever money my family member left?

Answered by attorney Mark Schaefer (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Elder Law Office of Mark Schaefer PC
You used the term administrator, so I assume your father or brother died without a will. You will need to contact a probate attorney to file a petition for an accounting. Unfortunately, there is no standard form for that petition. Your sister will then have to present what she received as administrator, what she paid out, and what she has distributed to heirs. If you agreed to a waiver of bond when she was appointed, then you should not delay. If you get a judgment against her you will then have to try to collect on it. If she was required to post a bond, then you have some security there as long as you have not agreed to allow her to be discharged and relieved of liability. Contact a probate attorney promptly.
