After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The right of inheritance by the blood child is cut off by the giving up parental rights and by the subsequent adoption by the new husband of the wife, unless you include her in a will or trust as a specific beneficiary.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
If there is a trustee or executor it can be sold without the signature. Otherwise you will have to go to court and get an order to "partition" the property.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
The court will only give you instructions on whether or not you need to file an inventory. As executor/administrator you should hire an attorney to advise you on how to proceed. The will may say whether you are to be paid or not. Often times even when the will says the executor can be paid, if the executor is also an heir and it is family, they often waive the fee. If there is no will then you are likely eligible for a statutory fee of up to 5% of the value of the estate (ie. the proceeds that you collect from selling assets).
