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

S Christopher Hunter
Answered by attorney S Christopher Hunter (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Hunter Law Offices, PLLC
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.

What is the legal recourse after a parent has died and the children cannot agree on how things are to be divided?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
I am assuming there is no will. Without a will and with no surviving spouse, the estate is divided equally among the kids. However, if the house was deeded lawfully before death then it is NOT part of the estate since it was not in the name of the deceased at death. To challenge the transfer that was made before death you will have to prove fraud or breach of fiduciary duty (if the person was guardian or attorney in fact). It will be an expensive undertaking (I would be surprised if it was less than $20,000) so the value of the estate will have to be big enough to cover the costs or you won't have much luck getting an attorney. I always tell folks to wait until they are through their grief before they make a decision on something like this.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Generally if you are the named beneficiary of the life insurance, it is not consider an estate asset and the estate creditors cannot come after the life insurance.
