Can I have financial claim on someone whom I took care and recently died?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
It would be very difficult to successfully make such a claim unless there was an agreement that he would pay you.

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

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
To put it simply Someone, usually the primary heir, hires an attorney and files a probate action in the county where the deceased last resided. Then all beneficiaries are notified and the court appoints a personal representative After that all assets are gathered, debts paid and the rest distributed At times if real property is in multiple states multiple probates may be needed (one in each state where there is property) SO It does not happen automatically. Probate and attorneys can get expensive so the question is are there sufficient assets to worry about.. I advise you to gather all the information you can about your fathers assets and contact an attorney to discuss if it is worthwhile to file a probate action if your apparent step mom does not.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No. If there was no legal separation or divorce, she is legally entitled to all of the community property and 33% to 50% of the separate property. If he had no children, she will get it all.
