How do you find out if a deceased person ever had a will or not?

Estate Planning lawyer at Damien Bosco, P.C.
Hello. My name is Damien. I am an attorney in New York City practicing in the New York City metropolitan area. It sounds like either you do not have access to your father's residence prior to his death to search his files and records, or you do have access and cannot find the original will or copy of the will. If there is a will, he should have kept either the original in his possession (in his files) or a copy of it. If there is a copy of it and an attorney drafted the will, then you would check to see if the attorney has the original will. Another possibility is that your father filed his will with the Surrogate's Court. It is not necessary to do so. However, a person could file their will prior to death with the surrogate's court clerk. So, you could check with the Surrogate's Court to see if there is a will on file. If you need any assistance, a New York Trusts & Estates Attorney could help you. If you wish to speak on the phone about it, you can call Damien Bosco, P.C. at (646) 452-7082 or email me at DamienBoscoEsq@gmail.com

How do I leave everything to my kids?

Have an attorney draft a will that directs all assets of your estate be passed on to your children and specifically excludes your current spouse. Some states require that a surviving spouse receive a portion of the decedent's estate. Your attorney will be able to tell you what your state laws are.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

Randy M Lish
Answered by attorney Randy M Lish (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Randy M. Lish, Attorney at Law
I believe that all states have statutes that govern the priority of creditors of an estate. Generally, the assets left behind must be used to pay off creditors, and then distributions made to heirs. In order to prove a will valid, it must be probated, and a good probate can help a lot. If you have specific questions, you need to see a probate lawyer who practices in the state where the deceased resided at the time of death.
