No. Your grandmother owns a life estate in the premises. That means she has the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of her natural life. Your father cannot sell or mortgage the property without her consent. Your grandmother could agree to release her interest in writing but she could ask for a cash settlement for her interest in the property in return for her signed release of the life estate. She should seek legal advice from an attorney who could help her to protect her interests.
Giovanni may have felt conflicted and guilty for leaving her grandmother alone after her grandfather's funeral. She might have worried about her grandmother's well-being and felt torn between her personal responsibilities and her family obligations. It's likely that Giovanni's emotions were complex and layered in that situation.
If you are writing a will, then you need an executor. However in this case where you are leaving everything to her, she can be the executor.
The court will appoint someone if no one volunteers.
Junior writes a letter to his grandmother, sharing his thoughts and feelings, and thanking her for everything she has done for him. He expresses his love and gratitude before leaving for his new school.
Yes. My fiancee and I just did that (California). We did not take physical possession of the car, and nor did we take "constructive possession." I.e., taking the keys to the car and leaving the car on the lot.
The will should have named an alternate. If it didn't, find some one who willing to do it. The estate lawyer must notify the court of the executor's death and petition for the appointment of a successor.
A conservator is appointed by the court to manage the estate of a living person who is incapable of managing their own affairs. An executor is appointed by the court to settle the estate of a person who died leaving a will.
Yes, Dad loves GrandFather for leaving his wealth only wen he died...
If a person dies owning no property whatsoever, the executor won't petition the court for appointment. An executor named in a will who is never appointed by a court has no power and no responsibilities. The will can be simply "filed" with the probate court for a nominal sum without actually opening a probate procedure. It will be indexed in the probate records for future/historical reference purposes only.
My 94 year old grandmother recently passed away leaving us with a '91 Ford Escort.
Yes, the bank accounts are a part of the estate. The need to be valued and included in the assets.
When I visited Forence in the the late sixties. My friends told me that Purvis' widow had shot at people in her driveway at night from an upstairs window. If you find the house be careful! Well, that is hilarious! Melvin Purvis was my grandfather, and it wasn't my grandmother shooting at people, she was to classy for that! It was my father and his brothers. My grandfather had a whole room full of every gun made and they were probably playing around! And to answer the question, the house is on Cherokee Rd and is occupied. And to set the story straight, my grandfather did not kill himself, it was an accident. My uncle was playing with a gun and forgot to empty it before he put it back. That was the gun my grandfather had in his hands when he died. There are still people who think it may have been murder. A black car was seen leaving the driveway the second it happened. No one will ever know.
