How can I find out more information about my mother's estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You say your brother "entered your mom's estate. Does that mean he has filed for administration of the estate with the probate court? If yes, then the court proceeding will say what your mother owned, and there will be an accounting of how it is expended. If you know of specific assets that aren't included in the probate filing, you can raise that issue with the court. I'm sorry to say that it may well not be true "there is no way everything is gone." Many, many Americans now exhaust their entire estate paying for health care and long term care at the ends of their lives.

My father who passed away in October,2020 left me a property in Puerto Rico vía a notarized letter. Do I legally have ownership rights to this proper.

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett

Please show the notarized letter to a probate attorney who practices in Puerto Rico to learn whether it might qualify as a Will and be admitted to probate (proving that it is the Will of the deceased person).
