- Q. When is probating a will complete so I can close out the checking account
- A: It depends on whether it's a dependent or independent administration. If it's an independent administration, 99% of the time, there won't be an order to close the administration. If it's a dependent administration, then the Estate's personal representative can close the estate and distribute the checking account when the judge signs the order allowing this.
- Q. My husband died with a will that requested all his debts to be payed on his passing. HIs dad was the executor
- A: It sounds like the "son" was born prior to the making of the will. In that case, the beneficiaries actually named in the will should inherit. You should definitely seek a probate attorney's help, ASAP. There are lots of issues here. If you're listed as the beneficiary in the will, that makes things better. If you're not, you may still have inheritance rights as the surviving wife.
This is not a case for just any attorney. Seek an attorney who knows probate law.
- Q. Can I sell my dad's old house after my siblings have past on?
- A: If your sister passed away before your dad, then her share would go either go to her children or to the other named beneficiaries (depending on what the will states). If your brother died after your dad, then your brother's share would go to your brother's estate (in other words, be controlled by his will).
All that said, the probate attorney you hire will need to know more about the incomplete probate of your father's will.... Depending on the stage of the case and the probate court assigned to the case, it may or may not be possible to continue that probate.
Big picture: You should talk with an attorney who regularly handles probate cases. It won't be complicated ... Read More
