How do you use surreptitiously in a sentence?

I did my project surreptitiously for fear that someone would copy it. I surreptitiously added my prepared paper to the stack of completed tests. The embezzler was trying to surreptitiously replace the money he had stolen.


Can you collect money from your dead fathers unclaimed funds if your step mother was the estate representative and she has since remarried?

No. If your stepmother was executor of the estate, she still is the executor and entitled to those funds, not you.


How do you obtain your mom's will?

First, a family member must know where a person keeps the Will so that if the person dies, someone can bring it out. Second, after a person dies, the Will must be probated, meaning it must be brought to the Probate Court to be recorded. If the person has debts or is owed money by "entities" (i.e. whoever), the Estate must still be probated even if there is no will or if it cannot be found; the estate would be treated as if the person never made a will, e.g. the person died Intestate, meaning "with no will". If you are the Administrator of a Will, you will already have a copy of the will. If you were not the Administrator, you can request a copy at the Clerk of Courts office. If it is still in Probate, the Clerks' office may waive the copying fee since you are a direct relative. If for any reason your request is denied, you can hire an Attorney to investigate the denial and to represent your interests in the estate.
