Probate Court Requirements for am administrator

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Does your brother own property or have bank accounts in the USA?  And no one, not his spouse or anyone else, is a joint owner, or otherwise has any legally rights to those accounts?  If that is the case, in order to become the administrator, everyone else who has a right to serve as administrator has to renounce their right to serve.  Then you take the renunciations and file it with the county surrogate along with the application to become the adminstrator.  this would all take place in the county in which your brother lived.

Can an illegal immigrant inherit a portion of a nj pension?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I have never heard of any case where a person's immigration status prevents them from being able to inherit something from an estate.  The problem the person is going to have is needing a Social Security number or other idetnifying information to be able to cliam the inheritance, and pay potential taxes on it.  you might be better served leaving a different asset to the person.

My two brothers and I made a verbal agreement we will take care of our elderly mother, who is diagnosed with Dementia five years ago..

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
I dont know if your mother has any assets ( home, pension plan, etc) but if she does, then maybe you and your siblings agree in writing that you will get a larger share of the remaining assets of her estate upon her passing to compensate you for the expenses incurred in caring for your mother. Since your mother has dementia, who has the power of attorney over her care and over her finances? Again, maybe you and your siblings can agree that you will be paid from her assets for the time spent and to be spent caring for her.
