Do I have any rights to my stepfather's estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Once your mother passed away, anything that she owned jointly with her husband became his property for him to do with as he wished. Hopefully, your mother had a will. If she left you her jewelry, it is yours and not her husband's. You can find out if either one of them left a will by calling the probate clerk's office in their county of residence. You can also file what's called a 'caveat,' which means if a probate is opened, you will automatically be notified. Meanwhile, I would call the stepsisters and mention that your mother's possessions are sentimental and ask to look through her stuff.

What can I do if my mother died without a will and my siblings don't want to give me anything?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
You need to talk to a local probate attorney about the details of your mother's estate. If your mother was the one who put your siblings names on the bank account and property during her lifetime, then the bank account and property belong to your siblings now and they do not have to share them with you (unless you can prove they somehow tricked her or defrauded her to get the property). If instead they got those assets in their name because a probate court appointed them personal representative or administrator of your mother's estate, then you should be entitled to a share and they should give you an accounting of what is in the estate. A probate attorney may be able to help, but the attorney would need more information.

What happens when someone dies, there is no will, and 1 descendant is living in the home?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
When someone dies in Florida without a will, the home will pass to a spouse and or children. At the time of the death of a parent who is not married, each of the children will have an equal right to the home. If one of the children is living there and does not allow the others to have access, the remaining siblings may file an action for partition and force the sale of the home.
