Probate-Probate Court

Junior asked:


So first, i am single 24 yr old male living on my own and have a 4 year old daughter in which i pay child support for. I had recently got a new job as an electricians apprentice in the state of Massachusetts, trying to better myself, build a career, and make more money.I’ve been ending up in dead end jobs since graduating high school, until now.

I pay $456 a month for child support and i have no problem paying for my daughter. The $456 was based on my last jobs income and was taking home a pay of about $500 a week. I am now taking home $633 a week. So now my new job offers health insurance which is mandatory now in the state of Massachusetts, and was ordered to now provide health insurance for my daughter. Now on top of the $456 a month for child support and a very expensive health insurance plan of $965 dollars a month that leaves me with $278 a week for myself.

With this income it is absolutely impossible to pay my rent, (2 weeks late so far) utilities,groceries, car insurance which I’m paying for the lowest basic coverage, i own a 97 jetta that is in desperate need of repairs and with 170,000 miles on it. i owe $200 for tools that i bought to just get me started and need many more, it ***** when your foreman consistently tells you that you need to get more tools but you cant afford them. It is also mandatory for me to attend school in September, (which i cant afford) and i just got a letter from my employer today stating that if i’m not enrolled i will be dropped from the apprenticeship program.

I had gone down to the local probate court about 2 weeks ago to request a court hearing and still waiting on one. I have no idea what is gonna happen. Is the judge going to understand my situation? Is the judge going to help me? What can i do?

I know lowering the support wont do anything, i don’t want it lowered. Lowering $114 isn’t going to help me much or benefit my daughter. Its pretty much the health insurance that’s killing me. My daughter was on Mass health.

I know this is a lot, and im pretty much spilling my guts to the world, but i wanted everyone to see all aspects of the situation and Im not here for people to feel bad for me, just for some help, input, advice anything can help at this point. Thanks

Brother passed without a will?
My Brother passed this month without a will and there are many questions.

He had been unemployed for a lengthy time so he had few assets and substantial debt.

He lived in Texas. He is divorced and still owes the ex about 15k in child support that the state administers… the ex gets his irs tax refunds etc…

He lived with mom, and his possessions in her house might sell for around $1200.00

He had many debts… my guess is around 10k to co’s such as citibank, home depot etc..

He has a car loan that is owed about what the vehicle is worth.

He had under $200.00 in his checking/savings account. Mom went to the bank last week where she also has an account and they gave her the money in those accounts. ( they said they could do this because the amount was under a certain limit- I think her name was on the checking account)

Questions:

#1 Do we have to go to probate court and create an estate?

#2 Might the state sue the family to form an estate if only to prove there are no assets for the child support?

#3 Might the creditors sue the family to form an estate? It seems to me they would look at his credit report and see the large debt and be mindful that funeral expenses – that mom paid for – come off the top, and determine that it’s probably not worth the effort, but that’s just a guess.

#4 As for medical bills…Should we expect to be sued to form an estate for this? he was in the hospital for several days before passing, and with all the testing and ICU care, the bill is probably well north of 30k- I don’t know what the “payment due from patient” is yet. . It occurs to me that they might not have access to his credit report and will want to see if there are assets.

#5 Does selling, or giving away his possessions, or contacting the note holder of his vehicle to come get the car, or receiving the money from his accounts at the bank, or sending death certificates to creditors – which she has done- make the mother an executor by default with further obligations?

Thanks in advance for your answer. Also, please do not answer unless you have experience with these issues.

Joy S asked:


I know I am receiving money from a relative who passed away because I received a notice in the mail from a service wanting to know if I would like to take a loan out on the inheritence and I received a letter giving the probate court date.
I spoke to my relatives partner and told them how suprised and honored I was to be receiving money. They never said how much I was getting and I feel awkward asking. Is there a way I can find out without actually contacting the lawyer? It would be nice to know but then I feel like I should wait and let it be a surprise. Money can really mess with your mind……

Pet owners need to be aware of the legal issues surrounding dog bites and understand their responsibilities. When you go out in public with your dog or have people over to your house, you are responsible for your pet. Despite whether your pet has been vicious in the past or not, one bite can mean legal trouble for you as the dog owner.
