How will I fix a wrong APN on the deed?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Prepare and record an amended deed showing the correct APN. However, you may want to check with the county recorder as to how to proceed first.

How much of a claim does my husband's family have to the estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey R. Gottlieb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Robert H. Glorch
That doesn't sound correct. A wrongful death claim doesn't belong to the estate, it belongs to the heirs. In Illinois, a decedent's spouse and children are heirs; the decedent's parents and siblings are not. If it's instead a survival personal injury claim, that would be paid to the estate. Unless your husband had a will leaving property to his parents or siblings, then they would not receive anything since they are not heirs. If there is a long-running case tat has been settled, then all of this should have been made clear before the settlement.

What do we need to do if his wife and I want me to be able to talk to the people he owed money to?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
The death of a child is exceptionally difficult. In Nevada, the wife should talk to an attorney about possible handling a set aside of the estate.
