If my dad passed away and I was the only child and he wasn’t married would I get all of his belongings?

From what you have said you should be the only person inheriting. You should consult with an attorney about what to do.

What is a will?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A Will states who you want to get what.  This may or may not be different from your state's laws of inheritance.  If you have a small estate (as your state law defines it), it will be cheaper to settle it without a Will, using a Small Estate Affidavit.  If not, it will cost more as the court will have to determine who your heirs are.

Does the child's father have rights over the dead wife’s inheritance?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
I depends. Did the mother leave a Will or Trust? It would appear that the child will inherit everything. That does not mean that the house needs to be preserved. It is possible to sell the house and use the proceeds to take care of the child. But this is and has been the child's home. If the child loses not only his/her mother but also his/her home, that could hurt even more. Grandparents probably should consult with an attorney on this to determine how to proceed. Given the presence of the father in the picture, things are more complicated. But hopefully, everyone will be on the same page, where the child/grandchild is concerned.
