How do I request information about my share of will or inheritance after my father passed away?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
If you have an interest in your father's estate, you can file an application for a probate administration, or file a contest if your brother or someone else has started one. However, if you have a trust, it is possible all of your father's assets were placed in trust and no probate is necessary. Look to real estate records to see if real property you think your father owned is actually in his name or in the name of a trustee. If everything is in trust and you are a beneficiary, you can sue the trustees for breach of fiduciary duty. If you are not a beneficiary , you may be out of luck.

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

Vincent A. Liberti
Answered by attorney Vincent A. Liberti (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Halloran & Sage LLP
I assume you mean as the personal representative or Executor. If so, it depends upon the state's rules. Some states yes; some no. If your father is alive, your father may sign a durable power of attorney appointing you as his agent to handle financial matters. He also could put you on title of his accounts or draft a trust, transfer his assets to the trust while also appointing you as trustee.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
In order to deal with real estate of a decedent you must open a probate case and have the court appointed representative deed the property. It may be possible to work with a title insurance company and insure over the title defect with the filing of a death certificate, an affidavit of heir-ship and a deed signed by all heirs. There is likely to be an additional endorsement fee beyond the usual charges and a personal undertaking (indemnification) that the heirs must sign. This will not cure the title defect but it may induce the title company to assume the risks if they are comfortable with the heir-ship proof.
