Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
If your Dad had a will and it named you as the Executor then the court will likely honor those wishes and you will just have to hire local counsel and realtors etc.

Which home from the will should be sold first?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
It's completely up to your aunt at this point. The fact that an asset is identified in her Will today is entirely irrelevant. Your aunt's Will becomes effective when two things happen: (1) she dies, and (2) the document is admitted to probate. Before those two events occur, your aunt can do whatever she chooses to do with either piece of property.

If you were helping your mom with her finances, it is possible that your actions could make you liable. In general, though, you are not responsible for the debts of a parent.
