Since the one daughter refuses to sign the Quit Claim Deed, do I have a chance in court?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You are advised to consult probate litigation counsel to represent you as a beneficiary of the estate. I am assuming this matter is in probate court. Beneficiary representation would advise/protect you, be able to advise you as to your chances of the proposal you are suggesting re the titling of the land. If there was a will, then the provisions of the will must be followed by the court, unless the beneficiaries agree to some other arrangement as to distribution. If there is no will, then the statutory scheme re distribution occurs, distributed to children of the deceased first in equal shares, then to grandchildren of a deceased child in equal shares as to that deceased child's share.

Can I go to the bank with a Small Estates Affidavit to claim his account?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No you cannot and if you do it will be fraud. You are not a person entitled and clearly if he took you off his account just before he died, he would not want you to have it anyway.

Are all beneficiaries of bank accounts payable on death, or must it be explicitly stated?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey R. Gottlieb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Robert H. Glorch
I don't understand your question. The account might have a POD designation or it might not have a POD designation. It must be explicitly stated to have a POD designation. Otherwise, if there is no POD designation, and there is just one owner, the account would be part of the owner's estate.
