If my husband died and left his house to his kids in a will, am I still entitled to half ownership of the house?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on a few things. Were you on title to the house? Did you buy the house during the marriage? If you have a community property interest in the house, he can't give it away. Also, if it's your homestead, you may still have occupancy rights to the house.

Can the executor close a bank account?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If the principle has passed away, your power of attorney is no longer in force. In order to deal with the decedent's bank accounts, you need to be appointed personal representative (executor is the old term) and present the bank with a death certificate and your Letters Testamentary (issued by the court).

Do I have any rights to my step dad's estate if I have been taking care of him?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
It sounds as if you are limited to filing a creditor's claim for the value of the services you provided. The estate can require that you leave. In most states the oral promise is not enforceable, unless you can show detrimental reliance or use other valid theory. I suggest you speak with an attorney about the specifics of the promises, etc. We offer a one hour consultation with an attorney who will provide you with important information regarding your specific case and will able to advise you on the options that you should consider in determining your next steps for the small investment of $100. This is a significant discount from our billing rates. If the issues presented involve reviewing documents and preparation in advance of the meeting, we charge $300 for a premier consultation, because there is over one hour of review and preparation for the meeting and one hour for the meeting.
