Can siblings take away another sibling from being executor of mother's estate?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
First, I need to clarify some terminology. An executor is the person designated to handle the financial affairs of a person who died with a will. A personal representative does the same thing for a person who died without a will. Because you used the word executor, I'm going to assume that your mother died with a will. If one sibling has been named the executor of your mother's will, and the other siblings do not believe that sibling is qualified for an ethical or legal reason, the siblings may file what is known as a will contest to disqualify that named executor and have someone else named as the executor. There are specific reasons to disqualify someone from being an executor, and it's a good idea to seek counsel from a local attorney for more information about how to proceed.

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

S Christopher Hunter
Answered by attorney S Christopher Hunter (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Hunter Law Offices, PLLC
Yes. There is no requirement that you live in the same state as your father in order to be his personal representative. However, if he had a will the person who was nominated would have priority. If there was no will then his wife (if living), and your siblings if any will have to duke it out.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney Isaac David Shutt (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
No, only his estate is liable for his debts. None of the family will be liable for the debts, unless someone co-signed on the debt.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
