My daughter’s (who is 2) father passed away a few weeks ago and there was no will filled out. He was co-owner of a house in California with his sister. Now that he died she is claiming that his half of the property belongs to her! Is this true or does his estate go to his daughter? I am confused? Im not sure if his sister is just greedy or if that is the reality of things…

Mother passed away a she had a house that she was still making mortgage payments on.
There are 2 silbings left. Mother didn’t get a chance to add our names. What do we do with the house? Can we sell it. The payments
are still being made.
Mother didn’t have a will.

Parents left a will for 3 adult children to split 3 ways. 2 of them conspired (one being the administrator of the will) to cut the 3rd sibling out. The 3rd child was told by both parents of a $250K policy to be evenly split. Mom was ill and hospitalized. She kept asking for 3rd child, unable to understand why he had not come to see her or call her. Mom passed away 1 hour before 3rd child was finally told “mom is sick and it does’nt look good”. They recently slipped and mentioned “6 death certificates and “The Insurance Company”. Most recent, both of them say that there was nothing left after all of the expenses. His brother had the guts to say that the sister was the one who came up with the idea. He was and still is. He has lost everything in his life. .
We don’t know if it’s a trust, insurance policy, his parents will that he has never seen or was offered to see. I need to help him but i am getting frustrated and nowhere. Help me help Him!!

Anon asked:


We were married overseas and the certificate is in another language, written in a handwriting poor enough to be quite difficult to have translated. I need to know how much of a problem this is likely to cause me.
There is no will, so my appointment as an executor is not pre-named.

Shawnna asked:


My husband is supposed to be receiving a portion of money from his step mothers probate. We think that his step family may be lying to him so that they can get out of paying the funeral money that they owe us. The house and land have been sold and everything is so secretive. We’re having our doubts about what is going on. It’s been almost 2 years. I’ve been searching public records in Georgia. Help me.

Vivian asked:


I am interested in finding probate records for my grandfather’s estate. I am sure that he left certain things to certain people, but he died totally alone and no one knows where to put things and follow his last wishes. Is there a place where I can easily find probate records?
