Issues regarding Estate and Affidavit of Heirship Recording

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Hire a probate lawyer in the county in which your mother lived to file an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration.  If Florida law treats mineral rights as personal property, that should suffice.  If Florida law treats mineral rights as real property, after the Texas probate there will need to be an ancillary probate in Florida.

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

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
The family is not responsible for this unless they agreed to be responsible for it. Your father's ESTATE, if he has one, would be responsible for creditor claims. His estate would consist of any assets that your father has in his name alone, without beneficiaries designated.

What does it mean to go through probate?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Having or not having a Will is not determinative of whether probate is necessary. Depending upon the total value of all of your uncle's assets that do not have named beneficiaries, joint tenants or held in trust will determine if a probate is necessary. You may need a simple affidavit, to proceed with a set aside petition or you may in fact require a probate to administer your uncle's assets. You probably should consult with counsel about the specific facts of your case, or you may try to navigate the probate arena on your own and utilize the forms available at the self help center at Family Court.
