What can I legally do if stepmom destroyed my dad’s will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
Without seeing the paper that your father wrote, it is not possible to advise you. If your father listed insurance companies, you can contact those companies to see if the policies are still in place and whether you are a listed beneficiary. You do not need to go through your stepmother for that. If you know who drafted your father's will, you can contact that lawyer and see if he or she kept a copy. And, you need to call a lawyer for assistance. There's a fight brewing as to what happens to the house and the rest of the estate, and a layperson is not in a position to fight that any more than he is able to put out a three-alarm fire or perform an emergency appendectomy. It also sounds like a probate may be in order to settle the dispute between you and your step-mother, if you cannot reach an amicable resolution.

Can the unsigned will be admissible in probate court?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Without a signed will, it sounds like wife's heirs will get everything, which is either her siblings or her nieces and nephews. Somebody needs to talk with a probate attorney and figure it all out.

What are my rights to my father’s properties after he passed without a will but has given my sister the power of attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Carmen Beatriz Marquez (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Carmen B. Marquez, PC
Once your father passed away, the power of attorney has no power. If he left no will you and your sister are his heir and would divide anything left in his estate between the two of you. However, if she made those transfers while he was alive with a valid power of attorney, those items might already be hers.
