If my father passed away in one state and I live in another and he had no property of assets, what do I do as his legal executor?

Estate Planning lawyer at Meyer & Colegrove, PLLC
Since your father passed away in California, this question should be addressed to California counsel.

Is there a statute of limitations for an executor who is not fulfilling his duties?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
This question is a bit confusing. An executor who is not fulfilling his duties can be removed by filing a motion in the probate court handling the case detailing the reasons for the executor?s removal. The motion can be brought as long as the case has not been closed. If you are asking is there a statute that requires an executor to be removed for failure to perform his duties for some period, it works a little differently. The executor can not be removed for two years in order to give the executor time to get the estate together and figure out what to do. After that it is up to the beneficiaries to ask for removal if the executor is not working. If the question is whether a statute of limitations has passed to complain about the behavior, it depends on the specific behavior and the action you wish to take. For example, fraud actions can only be brought 2 years after the person becomes aware that they have been defrauded.

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

Jonathan W. Barlow
Answered by attorney Jonathan W. Barlow
Estate Planning lawyer at Clear Counsel Law Group
In Nevada, a non-Nevada resident can serve as the personal representative of an estate in one of two ways. First, if there is a will that designates you to serve as the executor of the will, then you can serve as the executor of the will even if you do not live in Nevada. Second, if there is no will you can be appointed to serve as administrator of the estate but you will be required to have a Nevada resident serve with you as a co-administrator. In either situation, you will have to be otherwise qualified to serve, which means that you are an adult, that you do not have a disqualifying felony conviction, and that you do not have a conflict of interest or other reason that would make you unqualified to serve. In addition, if there is no will the Nevada statutes have a priority list of who is entitled to serve as the administrator of the estate. If there are individuals who have a higher priority to serve, you may not be entitled to serve if that person has also petitioned the court to be appointed. In any situation, it is important to consult with an experienced probate lawyer who practices primarily in probate law to ensure that you receive the best advice. An experienced probate lawyer will be able to guide you through all of these issues and ensure that your ability to serve as personal representative of the estate is protected.
