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

Arieh Mordechai Flemenbaum
Answered by attorney Arieh Mordechai Flemenbaum (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Griffith & Jacobson, LLC
Generally speaking, you can get control over an estate, even if you live in a different state. For a probate estate, most states allow an executor/trustee to be a non-resident, but they may require a supplemental, local executor/trustee to be appointed to assist you in handling certain real estate and financial transactions. However, it appears from your question that your father is still living, so I assume this would a guardianship estate. Guardianship estates can be split into two - one for control over the person (i.e., making decisions about their health, living environment and general care), and the other is for control over their financial estate. Most states, Illinois included, require that the guardian for the financial estate be located in the same state as the ward. You may need to find someone locally to act as this guardian. There are professional organizations that provide these services, such as a trust company (i.e., Northern Trust). This answer is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be legal advice nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship. Please consult a local probate lawyer for legal advice that is tailored to your facts and circumstances.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William L Spern (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of William L. Spern
My sympathy for your loss. You may have a moral obligation but no legal obligation to pay unsecured debts of your late father. If your mother or any other family member never agreed to the debt, they have no obligation to pay the debt. This all assumes that there is no estate opened to transfer assets. If an estate is opened, the estate must give notice of death and a time period for all debtors to make a claim against the estate.

Do I need a will if I only have non-probate property that will go to my son and only beneficiary? Wish to avoid probate. No real property involved.

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If all you have is non-probate property, all you have is property which does not pass under a Will.  In that circumstance, you do not need a Will.
