Does an administrator of an estate have to give the court a copy of all income tax paperwork?
HopAlongCassidy asked:
My mother died in 2000 and the administrator of the estate has never put income tax paperwork that he filed into her probate court file. Is this necessary. Also, he claims he made an aggressive stand on her taxes a year ago and he thinks there will be an audit on her estate and so he is keeping a funds in the estate until 2010 and will not dispurse until then if there is anything left. Her estate was worth about $75,000.

I have to go to probate court in April to request to have my daughters last name changed to mine?
Melissa d asked:
Her biological father has had nothing to do with her or attempted to be apart of her life since Aug. 04 and she doesn’t want the last name of a stranger that left her and never looked back.So I was just wondering if it would be in my benefit to take her with me to the hearing. She is the one that has been asking me to get her name changed and wants to go with me to court. I’m not sure if it is a good idea or not. I am representing myself and any suggestions would be helpful.

when a person has a will and passes away, are their assets at the time of their death filed in probate court?
Michael B asked:
My aunt passed away in May 2001, and my brother was the executor of the estate. I has been told prior to her death that I was the only beneficiary and stood to inherit all her assets. After she died my brother told me that her savings had been exhausted by the last year she spent in the senior residence. I never saw a will though I know she had one. At the time I trusted he was being truthful, but recent events have led me to question his integrity in the matter. I want to know if after all this time, are there records I can find maybe At the County Clerk or such, that will disclose what assets were left and if now something can be done about it.

Inheritance , and probate court – what to do?
jasonmarke asked:
My mom passed away and left my sister as executrix with me as a back-up. My mom had allot of different accounts that she left to us. She is executing the will through the probate court. I asked her to use a lawyer , but she wants to save money. She did discuss things with an accountant. Is there something I can do to make sure everything is done properly. Should I also talk to the probate judge or assume it will be taken care of properly through the judge and my sister? Even though I am not the executer of the estate, are there things I can do? Can monies entered into the estate be divided before all the monies arrive from all the accounts. That looks like it will take a long time.
