Probate

No. Your closest relations are your parents and your children - you are separated by 1 degree of separation. To get to your sister, that's 2 degrees (up to mom, down to sis). When determining degrees of separation, you always have to work back to the common ancestor and then down to the person, and each step is a degree.

If the wording of the ownership on the title/deed is correct. properly worded, and lawful for that particular state, AND the money is in a joint account with the spouse, they should pass to the surviving spouse without probate. Best thing to do would be to contact your local Bar Association or Legal Aid Office and give them the specifics. Such a consultation for such a simple question should be very inexpensive and even cost free.

A sibling cannot appoint himself the administrator of an estate. Only the probate court can make that appointment. He needs to petition the court to be appointed and if you have objections you can submit them to the court. There will be a hearing and the court will review your objections. Another sibling could request appointment and the heirs could voice their approval of that other sibling as administrator. The court will render a decision after considering the testimony and appoint the administrator. Only a court appointed administrator has legal authority to settle the estate.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can review your situation and explain your options.

In order to get an answer to this question you must provide the details of how exactly you "placed mothers house in a Life Tenancy with me as the care giver".

Your brother already has enough going on. The duties of being executor would be too much. Someone else in the family should petition to be appointed executor and your brother should decline.

An estate that includes real estate must be probated in order for title to pass to the heirs. Until the estate is duly probated you don't own the property legally and cannot execute a valid deed.

If your father is living you are not entitled to a copy of his will. If he is deceased and his will has been filed for probate you can obtain a copy from the court. Once a will has been filed it becomes a public record.

The estate representative should be reported to the probate court immediately for abusing their authority. They should be removed and a new executor should be appointed.

It is up to the brother. Most state probate codes allow the executor to charge a fee for their services. Executor duties and responsibilities can take up a lot of time. If there are only two beneficiaries, that will cut down on the executor's tasks somewhat. The brother should keep detailed time sheets for any time spent on estate matters and a deteiled account of any money spent on parking, postage, copying or other costs. The brother can then decide toward the end of his duties whether he wants to charge the estate or not. The executor's fee is a cost of the estate and should be paid before any assets are distributed so that brother and sister each pay equally.

The will is set up as the decedent wished, and so only the named beneficiary is entitled. The minor child will need money to live on, and hopefully the guardian will use the money judiciously to benefit the child. There are some laws that might allow another to inherit some of the estate. If there are other minor children, the court may split the estate to insure that dependants are not left destitute and have to be supported by the state. If there are children born after the will was made, the court will adjust accordingly.

If you are in jail now because your probation has been revoked, it is likely that you will remain in jail until the final decision on the motion is made by the court.

The executor of the will does it at the County Office of Deeds and Records. It should be listed under local government in the phone book.

No. The executor must be appointed by the probate court and signs their own name as the executor of the estate. For example: " John Smith, executor of the estate of John Doe." Be sure to add that designation, especially when signing contracts on behalf of the estate, so you do not unintentionally obligate yourself personally in any transaction you carry on for the estate.

You have no right to transfer to another person until it has been transferred to you through an estate or a court order.
