What are my duties and rights as an executor of fathers will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
what your mom did was wrong.. but .. First, was his wife a beneficiary? Was the listed on the account as a jointly owned? Second you must file a probate action to probate his estate and get the bank records (if the bank will not give them to you).. Assuming your mother is a beneficiary if there are sufficient assets otherwise just set off the amount she took from what she would get anyway..

My mother as the only life tenant, quit deeded it to a brother who is a remainderman. Me and another brother are also remaindermen on this estate!

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A quitclaim deed cannot transfer title.  The only thing it can do is note that the signer quits making a claim to ownership.  That is why it is best used with disputed easements and rights of way. The owner of a life estate (your mother, since a quitclaim deed cannot transfer title) cannot do anything which would damage the rights of the remaindermen.  (Note that the situation is different if this is not a simple life estate but a general warranty deed reserving extended life estate a/k/a Lady Bird Deed.  Your mother could revoke that at any time before her death.) On your mother's death (which terminates the life estate), your brother could file a claim against her estate for "loans" for improvements -- but would have to show tbey were not gifts.   Show the actual documents to a local real estate lawyer so that she can advise you based on the facts.
