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.

Is there a form that allows one child to make decisions or a letter and does it need to be notarized?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon

That depends on the property that your father had at the time of death. There may be some issues you can address without a court order and some that may require court intervention. To answer your question, there are some things that you can execute to allow one child.

Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
If the will was probated, then it's a public record and you can obtain a copy by going to the courthouse (either in person or on the courthouse's website). If the will has not been probated, but you know who has the original will, you can petition the court to force the person who has the will to provide it to the county clerk. You can then file for probate yourself.
