what is the statute of limitations for filing probate after someone passes away?
mzrbinsn asked:
I am a widow but we were seperated , I found out that I am suppose to file probate on everything he had but I dont know what the time limit is on probate. His mother said I have no right to file but I am his widow so I was told I am the next of kin and I am the one who has to file it.

Do you have to probate a small estate in new yok state?
COLLEEN K asked:
I was named the executor to my grandmothers will. The lawyer told me no matter what, it has to sit in probate for eight months. There is just a piece of property worth no more than 20,000.
There is a bank account with $2,000 that the lawyer is telling me I have to move to a bank they use. Her husband, my stepgrandfather passed away before she did. Does his property transfer to the estate? Is any of this true?
