What is our right to this property or do we have any rights as long as they are surviving?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Did your mother own the house? Did she have a will?Or did your grandmother own the house? Did she have a will or trust? If the house was owned by one and she died and had no will, it passes to her issue by right of representation. Therefore, for example, if your grandmother owned it and died without a will, then it passed one-seventh to each of her children. If she had a will or trust that permitted your mother to stay there for life and then to specified remainder beneficiaries, then those remained beneficiaries are entitled to the house.

If a married man dies and leaves everything to his son in a valid will, is his surviving spouse entitled to anything?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith

Possibly. In Nevada if the estate is under $100,000 the surviving spouse is entitled to it all. There are also issues with community property. A trust may be a better option. This should be addressed with an attorney, it is not a simple question.

What are the duties of an executor and when do I get to see the will of the estate I just inherited?

Answered by attorney John J Keenan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Keenan & Austin, P.C.
The duties of the Executor are to marshal the assets of the estate and see that they go to the proper parties. He does this by opening the estate with the Probate court. At that point he must send all interested parties a copy of the Will (if there is one), an inventory of the assets, and copies of all of the documents he has filed with the court. If the Executor has not done this, and you are a beneficiary or legal heir of the estate, then you have the right to open the estate in the Probate court.
