How could I deny property inheritance?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
With a timely filing you are able to disclaim an inheritance. The estate would transfer the property to another heir or if none accept the distribution the estate would remain responsible and eventually the property would be foreclosed upon by a lender or the condo association.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney Richard Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
In Missouri, if the spouse does not apply for administration after the death of the husband, then one of the adult children can apply. However, unless the child gets the consents from all the beneficiaries, the matter may have to be set for hearing as to who the court will appoint the personal representative.

How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
The answer to your question depends on several factors. For example, are you named as the "pay on death" beneficiary of the account? If not, did your mother leave a Will? Are you the only beneficiary of the estate? If there is no Will, the size of her estate may affect whether you will need to open a probate to collect the account or whether you can do a simplified proceeding. I recommend you speak with a probate attorney to discuss the answers to your questions and determine your options.
