If the decedent owned real estate, title cannot pass to the heirs unless the estate is probated. If the decedent had creditors and owned any bank accounts the creditors may become aware of those accounts and could sue the heirs. The debts of the decedent must be paid before any assets are distributed to the heirs.

Can probate be closed if all heirs dont cooperate?

The executor can work at closing off the will without any requirement of the heirs to cooperate. As long as the executor can justify the distribution of the assets, the court can approve the proposal of distribution.


What happens if your car is repossessed and you are out of the country?

The same thing happens as if you lived across the street from the lender. They notify you by mail what is going to happen(court,auction,ect) and if you dont respond they proceed. No biggie. Not to my knowledge. Search in your browser for "vise + revoke".

What to do if deceased left no will?

I am not an attorney, and you do need to get professional legal advice. If there is no will, there still may be trusts (there are several kinds) that were created by the deceased. For larger amounts of wealth, trusts are often better than wills. If there are no trusts, and there is no will, then probate court moves in and has control over how and when assets are distributed. This might not be a great problem, but sometimes probate courts can take a very long time to work through a case. Wills must go through probate court as well, but when a person leaves wishes in the form of a will, the job of probate court is to take reasonable steps to validate the will, and to make sure that the provisions in the will don't violate any rules or regulations. Trusts usually do not have to go through probate court, and there are some other advantages of trusts as well.

Does the company repossessing a vehicle have to notify the co-signer?

Read the contract you co-signed. It should relate the info you want. USUALLY, lenders dont notify the co-signor until the car is sold at auction and its time to PAY UP.
