Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

Answered by attorney Timothy Steven Jones (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Timothy Jones, PLLC
Wills are generally not valid unless they're signed. If the will is not handwritten, it also needs to have the signatures of two witnesses. The latest will that's been signed, and, if necessary, also has the signatures of witnesses, is the valid will.

How can I find out more information about my mother's estate?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You say your brother "entered your mom's estate. Does that mean he has filed for administration of the estate with the probate court? If yes, then the court proceeding will say what your mother owned, and there will be an accounting of how it is expended. If you know of specific assets that aren't included in the probate filing, you can raise that issue with the court. I'm sorry to say that it may well not be true "there is no way everything is gone." Many, many Americans now exhaust their entire estate paying for health care and long term care at the ends of their lives.
