Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Answered by attorney Candace Kay Ladley (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Candace K. Ladley, Attorney at Law
Yes, if your father does not have a Will appointing an executor or if none of the appointed executors want to be appointed, you can petition the court where your father's property is located to have yourself appointed as administrator of the estate. The Court will make you post a bond in the amount of the value of the property. The premium for the bond can be paid from the property in your father's estate.

Yes. There is no requirement that you live in the same state as your father in order to be his personal representative. However, if he had a will the person who was nominated would have priority. If there was no will then his wife (if living), and your siblings if any will have to duke it out.

Estate Probation

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
After the court appoints an administrator (you, if you applied), the administrator can distribute separate personal property to the children according to the Texas rules of inheritance.  If you are the applicant, you might also want to talk to your attorney about setting aside the home and up to $60,000 in personal property for the widow (you) and about the fact that property purchased during the marriage is assumed to be community property unless proven otherwise.  These days a lot of folks feel entitled to "their" money and stuff before the body is cold.  But no one has authority to distribute anything until a court appoints them executor of a Will or administrator of an estate or signs an Order Approving Small Estate Affidavit.
