What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
The answer depends on how title is held. If it is held as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, then your father's interest died with him and there is nothing else that would need to be done. Your uncle would presumably be the sole owner, at this point. If title was held as tenants in common, then probate would be necessary for your father and perhaps your mother's estate, as well. It probably makes sense to have an attorney review this entire situation with you.

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kenneth A Prigmore (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Prigmore Law
Executors have the responsibility of protecting and properly distributing the estate of the deceased. As a beneficiary, you have the right to see the testamentary documents that include you. Demand a copy of the will, trust, and any other gifting documents. If the Executor refuses, tell them you can sue and get them without much difficulty. Executors also have the responsibility to prepare an accounting of the estate, so if he has been making equal distributions, he should be able to show what the entire estate included. Finally, if you doubt the Executor's statements and actions, you may have to sue to find out the truth. Unfortunately, this can be very stressful and expensive, so you may not want to start any action until you are sure there is a problem. Locking the house is not automatically a breach of an Executor's duties. Timing is important. It is best to demand that all beneficiaries be allowed to review the contents of the home prior to the executor's "Sweep" of the house removing valuables. It sounds like you are too late to do that. You can still demand that he escort you around the home to see what is still there. Sometimes simply retaining an attorney who will write a letter to the executor demanding an accounting and threatening suit if he fails to disclose the contents of the estate will be enough to keep things in order. Please note: Prescription medications should be destroyed, not passed on to heirs for non prescription use. This is both the law and common sense. There is no known right to inheritance of prescription medications.

How can I include my brother and sister with what my relative left me?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Bruce Darrell Steiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kleinberg, Kaplan, Wolff Cohen, P.C.
You could disclaim (renounce) some of all of your inheritance. Unless the Will provides otherwise, the disclaimed property will go as if you had predeceased your relative. If it would then go to your children, they could also disclaim. If you have grandchildren who would then take, they could also disclaim. It is often possible to obtain court approval to disclaim on behalf of a minor. Keep in mind that the due date for a disclaimer is 9 months from date of death (or 9 months after reaching age 21, if later), and it takes some time to prepare the necessary papers (and to obtain court approval for disclaimers on behalf of any minors).
