What can happen if my sister does not inform me of my mothers passing

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Your sister has no legal obligation to inform you of anything.  If there was no Will and you were an heir under Texas law, the attorney of the person applying to probate the estate would have sent you a Distributee's Agreement.  If there was a Will and you were a named beneficiary, the attorney for the person whom the Will appointed and the Court named as executor of the Will and estate would have sent you a Notice to Beneficiary after the Court admitted the Will to probate.  Based on your description, it appears that there was a Will and that you were not named as a beneficiary.

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

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Yes, probably by obtaining a conservatorship of his person and estate if he is still living; if deceased, then you will have to petition the probate court in the locality of your father's residence. Obtain their services of a probate lawyer in that geographical area for either a probate if he is deceased or a conservatorship if he is still alive.

Who has the legal rights to a deceased person's car?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Sounds like a pretty open-and-shut case to me. I can't even begin to think of how a suit by your nephew could involve a vehicle that has not been used in 18 years. Even then, if your father has been sued, he needs to consider retaining a lawyer. At a minimum, the attorney could help your father timely file an Answer to the suit, assert any of a potential number of affirmative defenses and likely get the nephew's claims dismissed fairly quickly.
