I am my moms executor and she recently passed away. I do not know where to start.

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If the house is not in your mother's name, it is already owned by you, one sister and the other sister's estate.  If there is more in the estate than the house, you will have to probate the Will to get it.  Contact a probate attorney who practices in the county in which your mother lived and died.

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

Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
The probate process takes place in the state where the decedent was a resident. Where he died does not really matter. If his wife is still living, probate will probably not be necessary, as long as his wife has access to their assets.

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

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Hire a lawyer to file a petition for probate and assist with the estate administration. This should be in the state of his domicile (permanent residence). Additional probate administrations may be necessary in states where he owned real property. Did he leave a will? If so, it probably nominates an executor. If not, then his wife has priority to serve as administrator, but if she does not want to do so, or if she doesn't act within a month, then one of his children can file the petition.
