Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
If your aunt is competent, have her decide and communicate that decision to someone other than the nephew or caretaker. There is no bright line test on which house to sell. I would do my best to have the decision made by someone other than the nephew and caretaker because of the conflict of interest they would have in making the decision.

Should i hire a probate lawyer

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Please take whatever documents you have to a probate lawyer (preferrably one who does fiduciary litigtion) who practices in the county in which the people died.  Please also note that the Texas Estates Code now permits an heir or beneficiary or someone who can convince the Court that they are interested in someone's well-being to ask the Court to look into the actions of an agent under a Durable Power of Attorney.

If my father passed away in one state and I live in another and he had no property of assets, what do I do as his legal executor?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
He passed away in California, California law will control. In Texas you would have a problem. Why did you think you were his legal executor if there was no will or probate proceeding appointing you? While people do start collecting the assets of the deceased right away (frequently to pay final expenses), until appointed, you do not have the right to do so. Taking the assets may be theft. You may need to get all of your receipts together to demonstrate where the money went. You will have a problem since you found cash in the hoard. You will not be able to prove the amount you found. Your step siblings may always hold out that it was more than it really was.
