Will I automatically inherit the house under my deceased husband’s name?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Not necessarily. There are factors that need to be considered, included, does he have a Will, children, when was it purchased, etc. You should speak with a probate attorney about the administration of your husband's estate.

How long am I supposed to wait before something is done to my brother’s estate?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Ask an attorney to help you you communicate with the estate lawyer so that you can turn over what you have and be done with it. It is really his child and the child's mother who have the standing to complain, but if you are paying for the storage, you are at least able to find out when they are going to get your brother's things.

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
You don't say when the attorney was appointed and that may have an impact on how quickly you can expect him/her to act. On the other hand, since you are no longer executor, you shouldn't have to be dealing with your late brother's possessions. Everything should be turned over to the attorney as soon as possible. In no case are you personally responsible for paying for the funeral and storage expenses. If it has been more than 3-4 months since the attorney's appointment and nothing has been done, submit a petition to the court asking for a "show cause" hearing at which the attorney will have to explain the delay. If the attorney still doesn't get anything done, you can ask the court to appoint another attorney/person as executor.
