Generally, a step-child has no inheritance rights unless they were legally adopted by the decedent. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate or with an attorney who specializes in probate in your particular jurisdiction if you think you may have any claim.
No rights. Step-children do not have any rights to the step parents' estate unless they are included in the will, or adopted (and therefore actual children, not step.)
If she was his step-daughter, no, she cannot expect to inherit anything. From her natural father she may inherit.
Step children have no rights to the property. The children are entitled to half the estate. The step parent would get the other half.
If your parents are the owners they can sell the property.
In Chinese culture there are 2-parent families. Two parents are limited to one child, if Chinese and living in China.
A mother who is competent is absolutely free to choose to convey her property to one child and that child would own the property. In many cases there is a child who helps the parent more than the other children. Children have no "right" to a living parent's property. A parent can distribute her own property during her lifetime to anyone she chooses. A different situation would arise if the parent is incompetent and taken advantage of by an unscrupulous child. In that case you should seek the advice of an attorney.
In the Philippines the children have an equal rights in the property owned land of their parents. The parent need to subdivided the land equally. If the parent has a will and the name stated in the will is only the one who have right to said land but if there is no will and testament it divided into the number of children.
Of course. Arrangements should be made for any of the heirs to visit the property before it is sold.
No; however, Medicaid may file a lien on the parents' property and/or an estate claim.
That would depend on the last will and testament (or your countries intestate laws) of the parent who has died.
As a general rule no. Children are generally not responsible for a living parents debt. Though if you have a joint checking with that parent the money in the account whether yours or there's is subject to being seized as if it was all there's by creditors. Also if you have ever cosigned for a parent you would be subject to repayment of the debt if your parent defaults.
The debts of the parents are paid by the parent's estate, not their children.
It depends on who is being described. If there is one parent, it is parent's: the parent's car was parked outside. When describing several parents, it is parents': the parents' children were playing on the field.
A teen parent living at home with their parents has the right and responsibility to raise their child and not leave it up to the grandparents to do it.
Generally, if the parent left any property, that property must be used to pay the decedent's debts before any property cab be distributed to the heirs. If the parent left no property the creditors are out of luck unless the children had agreed to pay the debts prior to the parent's death.
