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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Candace Kay Ladley (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Candace K. Ladley, Attorney at Law
Yes, if your father does not have a Will appointing an executor or if none of the appointed executors want to be appointed, you can petition the court where your father's property is located to have yourself appointed as administrator of the estate. The Court will make you post a bond in the amount of the value of the property. The premium for the bond can be paid from the property in your father's estate.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Somebody needs to apply for probate. In this case, it would probably be his wife and it would be started where he died. However, you say temporarily. Was he on vacation or was it an extended stay? Did he tell you it was temporary so you wouldn't get mad? Regardless, if he really live in your state, I suppose you could open up a probate there, but eventually someone will win the battle of the probate forums. If the wife opens in the other state, she can then use that to open a probate in your state to handle his property there. You need to talk with an attorney and his wife and figure out the best way to proceed.

Can an outside child have stake in my Dad's property?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
I am not exactly sure what you mean by an "outside child." If you simply mean someone who is disinherited by the Will, the answer is generally no. There is an exempt property allowance of $14k that can be claimed by any spouse or child, so there is a chance the child could elect that. Otherwise, unless the Will is contested, the child would not be entitled to anything. The family could decide to give him something anyway. But there would be no legal requirement to do so.
