Where do you get your parents will at?
The contents of a Will are your parents' personal and legal business. It is none of a child's business unless the parent shows you the Will, includes you in estate/will planning, or you are named the Executor/Executrix of the Will (this is not a minor child). When the parents die, the Executor/Executrix can contact the parents' Attorney to get a copy of the Will, if it's location is unknown at home.
Can a son in Missouri be executor for estate of parents in Illinois?
I can answer my own question now that I have spoken with a lawyer in Illinois. The answer is yes, I can be the executor of my parent's estate, even though I live out-of-state. Thanks for this forum.
Can the executor of the will put the parent in a home?
No. As the executor of a will, your role as executor is not triggered until the party who named you executor dies. If the parent is still alive, you'd need a power of attorney (document) naming you as the power of attorney to make decisions for the parent in the event that the parent is incapacitated or incapable of making decisions on his or her own behalf.
Does an heir sibling to an estate have a right to enter estate after death of a parent if they are not the executor?
They do not have that right. The executor is responsible for the property and can allow, or not allow, access to the premises. The executor has to inventory the property of the estate and value it before distributions can be made.
Parents - apostrophe before or after s?
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.
I know i have to wait for Probate before i transfer the house to my name but do i need to wait for Probate before i can move into my deceased Parents House?
Since laws in different states are different, I would suggest you check with the executor or executrix of your parent's will. Failing that, you should check with a lawyer who is familiar with the inheritance laws in your state (and the state your parent lived in if different from yours).
Can a surviving parent be executor if there are living children?
Yes, that is very common. The spouse is typically the executor of the estate.
Are executors entitled to get paid before the parent dies?
The executor does not have any rights or responsibilities before the person dies. Being paid makes no sense and is not a legal right.
Do you have to be a resident of the state of NC to be executor of an estate of a parent?
There are no residency requirements for being executor. The beneficiaries do have to be citizens of the US.
What do you do if a parent dies and there is no will?
Open an estate. The courthouse will usually be able to provide the packet of papers required to file. The court can appoint an executor and the estate will be inventoried and distributed after the payment of debts.
Can you as co-executor be sued for the debt of your parent's foreclosed mortgage?
The estate is responsible for the debts of the decedent. The executor is not personally liable. If it is necessary to bring suit the executor's name will be recited as the respondent as the executor of the estate and not as an individual.
How do you get named as executor if your parent has already passed away?
You need to submit the will to probate court for allowance and ask to be appointed the executor. If there is a different executor named in the will they may need to sign a declination.
