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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Yes, probably by obtaining a conservatorship of his person and estate if he is still living; if deceased, then you will have to petition the probate court in the locality of your father's residence. Obtain their services of a probate lawyer in that geographical area for either a probate if he is deceased or a conservatorship if he is still alive.

Can they harass me for not going to probate court if property left is less than $5,000?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
Yes, your sibling can make trouble for you over this. If you did not go to probate court you have essentially stolen money from the estate. For an estate of this size you could most likely file a small estate affidavit with the court. You would account for expenses for cleaning and settling the estate, pay your father's bills and split the remainder with your sibling.

How can I find out what condition my dying mother was in when she signed a new will.

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Once a Will has been submitted for probate, it becomes a public document and can be read by anyone on the website of or requested from the local probate clerk.  You may think that your mother had no reason to leave things to someone who took care of her when you did not but she may have thought differently.  Since someone can make a Will in a "lucid moment" and a Will must be notarized with two witnesses, it would be very difficult to prove that she did not make the Will of her own accord, whatever her general condition.  In addition, undue influence must be so great as to overpower a person's normal wishes and desires.  While it is easy to imagine that someone was influenced by the care they received in their dying days, it is not so easy to imagine that a Will gifting the person who provided that care was obtained through undue influence.
