Do I need to go through probate?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The reason you will have to go to probate is to be able to deal with her assets, even though the assets have very little value.  The way that you will get the authority to do this is by probating her will.  Probate is VERY easy and will cost probably no more that $200.  You will then be given letters testamentary which will be evidence that you are the person who has been given the authority.  Having those letters will allow you to sell the car, and dispose of everything.  Because there is no beneficiary named on the life insurance policy, that police will be made payable to the estate, and you will be responsible for distributing the proceeds the way your grandmother wanted.  After probate, reimburse yourself for any costs, pay her last debts, open an estate account at a bank, deposit the proceeds of the life insurance and what ever you get for the sale of the car, and then distribute everything to the people named in the will.

It's not possible to answer based on the information you have given.  If the minors parents are alive you can have them take control of the funds or place it in a custodial account.

The realty is owned as tenants in common by husband and wife. When the first spouse died no estate tax was filed and the will was not probated.When

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
There is no estate tax between husband and wife so no estate tax return would have to be filed.  I'm not sure why you are concerned about who gets what share if both spouses are dead.  Were the wills of each person different?  Is the disposition different?  Or is the concern did the whole house pass to the surviving spouse, and then the surviving spouse's will governs what happens to the house?  If you have more information, please feel free to call.
