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

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You need to call a probate lawyer to discuss the situation. Nothing is automatic, someone has to take steps to probate a deceased person's estate. If he had a surviving spouse, she would have priority and likely be his heir unless their is a will or the marriage was not long term. The state and county where your father owned property is where the probate would be initiated. If he owned no real property, the state where he died would be the proper place.

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

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You can always sue anyone, anytime. The question is whether you have a valid claim against them. Just because you are his child does not mean that you are his beneficiary. If your father left a valid Will or trust leaving his assets to another, that is his choice, absent you being under the age of eighteen at the time of his death. This the first question is how old are you? If you are 18 or older then you need to determine if he left a valid Will or a trust. If he left either and you are not the named beneficiary, then you do not have a claim. If not, you may. You should speak to an attorney if you have any questions about your rights.

Which home from the will should be sold first?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
If your aunt is competent, have her decide and communicate that decision to someone other than the nephew or caretaker. There is no bright line test on which house to sell. I would do my best to have the decision made by someone other than the nephew and caretaker because of the conflict of interest they would have in making the decision.
