Do I have any rights to my stepfather's estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Once your mother passed away, anything that she owned jointly with her husband became his property for him to do with as he wished. Hopefully, your mother had a will. If she left you her jewelry, it is yours and not her husband's. You can find out if either one of them left a will by calling the probate clerk's office in their county of residence. You can also file what's called a 'caveat,' which means if a probate is opened, you will automatically be notified. Meanwhile, I would call the stepsisters and mention that your mother's possessions are sentimental and ask to look through her stuff.

If my father passed away should I write a letter to the creditor or send a bill back marked deceased?

You are not personally responsible for your father's debt unless you were a co-signer or a guarantor. It would serve your interests to consult with a probate attorney to determine if you must open a probate estate in the first place before taking any action.

You should open a probate to distribute the estate assets. After you open your probate, you can make sure that the home is distributed correctly. You should consult a probate attorney at sgarciavidal@garciavidallaw.com.   Thank you.
