Is there a case if the P.R. only told one heir about the info and not the other?

The personal representative is supposed to pay all of the bill relating to the estate. If the P.R. is refusing to pay the bills you paid on behalf of the estate you can file a claim against the estate provided you are within the 6 month claim period. You can also cancel the policy you bought and seek a refund or at least prorated return of premium to reduce loss to you and estate.

What can be done if my dad didn't sign his living will?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
A Living Will is typically a declaration of the persons intentions and preferences relating to life sustaining treatments near the end of life. A Power of Attorney for Property grants authority to an agent that allows the agent to deal with the property of the principal. If your father does not have a joint owner on his financial accounts and did not appoint an agent granted authority to deal with his financial accounts then there is no one with legal authority to assist him when he does not have the legal competency or capacity to act on his own. In this case the only option is to open a court proceeding and have a guardian appointed. The court will appoint a guardian to manage the estate and assets for someone who is unable to manage their own business affairs. This is a costly process but the only available procedure where the individual is unable to act on their own and no prior arrangements were made. After death, the representative of the estate would be able to deal with the assets in the estate and the guardianship will be closed.

If my father died without will does my mother get 100 percent?

Answered by attorney Steven Schneider (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Steven Schneider Attorney at Law, P.S.
In Washington the surviving spouse gets 100% of community property and half of separate property, half to children. If there is no surviving spouse, and no will, then it all is split equally by siblings, unless some property is subject to a beneficiary designation. You should consult with an attorney.
