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

Answered by attorney Jeffrey R. Gottlieb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Robert H. Glorch
It's not automatic. To set the probate process in motion, someone (e.g. the executor in the will or another family member) has to petition the court to be appointed. Normally the person who wants to file the petition will hire a probate attorney to represent them. The question of where the probate estate should be opened is an issue of fact. You mentioned that he was temporarily living in another state. Probate should be opened in the state where the decedent last had his permanent residence. So for example, if I live in Illinois, but happen to die while on vacation on Florida, my estate should be in Illinois even though I died in Florida. It's a little trickier if you're father was actually stayed in another state for a period of months, or years. It's really a question of fact and should come back to where he intended to live on a permanent basis. But this issue can be the subject of dispute at times, in part because state inheritances laws can differ.

My mother in law passed away and left house to us, what do we do?

Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
In Texas there is a simple form of probate where the will is admitted as a Muniment of Title only. If that was the form of probate, then the order proving up the will is sufficient to transfer title to the beneficiaries - there is no other document necessary. If there was an administration where an executor was appointed, it was that executor's duty to transfer the house into the beneficiaries name(s) by recording a deed of some kind. If this was not done, you may need to contact an attorney to get the court to order the administrator to do his job.
