What to do Father died and left me executor and sole beneficiary?

If your father owned real estate in his own name when he died you must present the Will to probate court to have it allowed and to be appointed the executor. That is the only means by which the title to the real estate can be legally transferred to you. Also, if he had bank accounts in his own name, your appointment as executor will provide legal access to those accounts. If there is a simple estate involved perhaps the court staff will assist you in filing the documents yourself. If more complex then you should seek the advice of an attorney.


What if your father is the sole executor of a will his father left and you would like to know if he dies can your mother become the sole executor?

Alternate ExecutorsThis will depend on the Probate [sometimes called "Succession"] law of the state in which the deceased [who assigned your father as executor] lived, and thus the will was probated.Usually, the will for which your father was named executor will have a statement naming an alternate (s) executor in the event the named executor [your father in this case] is unable, for any reason, or unwilling to serve in that capacity.If there was no provision for appointing an alternate executor then the Probate law of the state in which the deceased lived will determine the assignment of a new executor.In this type of situation, it would not be uncommon for your mother to be named by the Probate Court as the replacement executor [called an "executrix" in the case of a female].

What if your fathers girlfriend leave the estate to the father but father dies before policy holder does the estate got to children of the father?

If the girlfriend is still alive then she can change her beneficiary. If she died and didn't change her beneficiary then you may have a claim if her estate went to your father. You should speak to an attorney. You refer to a "policy holder" in your question as well as an "estate". If the subject is a life insurance policy and your father was the beneficiary but was deceased when the insured died then be aware that the girlfriend probably named a contingent beneficiary on her policy.
