How can I put my father’s property and vehicles in my name?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
The answer depends on what property your father had. If it is just vehicles, then you can use the vehicle title forms. If there are bank accounts, then you would likely use a small estate affidavit.

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.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James Timothy Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
To put it simply Someone, usually the primary heir, hires an attorney and files a probate action in the county where the deceased last resided. Then all beneficiaries are notified and the court appoints a personal representative After that all assets are gathered, debts paid and the rest distributed At times if real property is in multiple states multiple probates may be needed (one in each state where there is property) SO It does not happen automatically. Probate and attorneys can get expensive so the question is are there sufficient assets to worry about.. I advise you to gather all the information you can about your fathers assets and contact an attorney to discuss if it is worthwhile to file a probate action if your apparent step mom does not.
