Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Charles Robert Stewart
Answered by attorney Charles Robert Stewart (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Charles R. Stewart
If you are asking if you can be appointed Personal Representative (the P.R. is what Maryland calls the executor), the rules for and out-of-state and in-state P.R.'s are the same, except that you must have a resident agent appointed - someone in Maryland to accept legal service, etc.

Is there a statute of limitations for an executor who is not fulfilling his duties?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
This question is a bit confusing. An executor who is not fulfilling his duties can be removed by filing a motion in the probate court handling the case detailing the reasons for the executor?s removal. The motion can be brought as long as the case has not been closed. If you are asking is there a statute that requires an executor to be removed for failure to perform his duties for some period, it works a little differently. The executor can not be removed for two years in order to give the executor time to get the estate together and figure out what to do. After that it is up to the beneficiaries to ask for removal if the executor is not working. If the question is whether a statute of limitations has passed to complain about the behavior, it depends on the specific behavior and the action you wish to take. For example, fraud actions can only be brought 2 years after the person becomes aware that they have been defrauded.

Can they take away what is rightfully mine just because we didn't have children together?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Whether or not you had children together is irrelevant.  Whether he had a child with someone else affects how his separate real property, if any, passes under the Texas laws of descent (real estate) and distribution (personal property). Pensions, 401(k)s and IRAs pass to the designated beneficiaries.  If you are named as the beneficiary, they pass to you.  If no beneficiary is named, pensions pass according to the rules of the pension plan, 401(k)s pass to the surviving spouse and IRAs pass to the estate.  Since IRAs are usually created with community assets, they are usually viewed as community property.  The surviving spouse retains her 50% community property interest.  The deceased spouse's community property interest passes according to his Will or, if there is none, according to the Texas laws of descent and distribution. In Texas, even if the home was separate property, purchased before the marriage and paid for with separate funds, the surviving spouse has a right to live in it for life. Please see a local probate attorney about probating (proving) your husband's estate.
