Do I have any ownership of the promissory note?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
I cannot figure out what you are asking. There is generally no "ownership" of a note. It does not have title. There is an obligatory and an oblige. Which one of those people you are and what your partner's role is in this is not clear.

What are MY rights as his child to his belongings and am I entitled to give ANYTHING to my aunts and uncles?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
I am not sure why a lawyer would take any action against your family. On the facts stated, you would be entitled to the entire estate. You do not say whether there ever WERE other children. If so, then THEIR surviving children might also be entitled to a share. Otherwise, it is all yours. Of course, if title is in your father's name, you will likely need to go through probate to get that changed to your name. Please let me know if you have other questions or if I can be of assistance.
