Is there anything I can do if my father left his girlfriend as sole benficiary?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
First I will assume that he was not married to one women and that he had a girlfriend on side. If that is the case, the wife would have rights. Assuming you were 18 or older when your unmarried/divorced dad died and he was competent when he made the beneficiary designations, he could leave his assets to whomever he choose, be it a girlfriend, boyfriend, charity, or family. There is no requirement that he provide for an adult child.

Can I take a relative to court for the estate going into foreclosure?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
The proper place to bring up this issue would be in the court administering the probate estate, as that court has jurisdiction over the estate personal representative and is able to address his or her inactions. Accordingly, you probably need to file a petition with the probate court that is administering the estate and raise the issue to be reviewed by the Court. I suggest that you meet with an attorney who can review the papers that have been filed in the probate case to see if the personal representative received authority from the court to allow the estate property to be foreclosed.

What is the difference between guardianship and conservatorship?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
Generally speaking, a conservatorship grants the authority to manage a person's financial affairs and a guardianship grants the authority to manage a person's day-to-day life activities and health care decisions.
