How to get out of a will?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Typically, the government will sue "in rem" which means that they will only go after your interest in the house, and not after you personally. You can also sue to force the sale of the house and get your 1/4 value out of it.

Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

Answered by attorney James P. Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Depending on how things were set up, there may or may not be a Will and even if there is one, there may be no assets to pass under the Will. A Will covers only those assets that are in the decedent's name alone. Any assets that were jointly held or that have a designated beneficiary, pass outside of probate and outside the control of any Will. So finding the Will will not help you, if the assets were set up in such a way as to avoid probate.
