Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
If your father died without leaving a Will, his property would not pass to his girlfriend or to his brother. If either individual has taken items belonging to your father's estate, they could be found liable for the value of the property taken. If you believe that it would take legal action to correct the situation, you should understand that you would first need to establish your role as an heir of your father. Depending on the value of the property taken, and a whole lot of other factors, the cost of the process might just outweigh the value of the property that you're seeking.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Hire a lawyer to file a petition for probate and assist with the estate administration. This should be in the state of his domicile (permanent residence). Additional probate administrations may be necessary in states where he owned real property. Did he leave a will? If so, it probably nominates an executor. If not, then his wife has priority to serve as administrator, but if she does not want to do so, or if she doesn't act within a month, then one of his children can file the petition.

Can I create a limited POA which allows me to sign medical record releases on behalf of someone?

Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
Far better to simply have them sign a medical authorization allowing you to get the records. Getting a POA exposes you to liability and I doubt your business insurance would cover it. Plus, what you are talking about is really a health care POA.
