How can I make sure my son receives the inheritance he is due?

Answered by attorney Richard Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
Since the executor is refusing to close out the estate, you need to hire an attorney to make her close out the estate for your son to get his inheritance. I am not sure about your life insurance. If the policy was left to you (I.e. you were the named beneficiary) the check should have been written to you. The executor should not have the check at all. If by the will the check went into the probate estate and then is suppose to go to you, then again you have to hire an attorney to force her to make the payment to you. In regard to her threatening to take you to court and petition for the money, ask yourself what right she would have to do this. If you and/or your son is entitled to the money, she just has an empty threat.

How can I cash the check that is payable on my grandmother's real estate?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It's a really, really tough question. You could file a "small estate affidavit," but the banks will still give you headaches over cashing the check. With the small estate affidavit filed, you might get the nursing home to cut you a check. Otherwise, they're eventually going to have to turn over the money to Department of State Lands as unclaimed property, and you can claim it from DSL.

Since there was no will would the property become property of the only living sibling of my father in law, the wife of my father in law?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The property would descend to your father in law sibling, subject to the life estate of the mother, and not to former wife of father in law. Probate will be required for title to pass to the sibling, but still subject to the life estate of the mother.
