Probate-Probate Court

JRo321 asked:


I have been told that the judgement we received from family court may be appealed. How does an appeal work in the Massachusetts probate and family court system? I’m having trouble finding information online, so any help is appreciated. Thanks! I am not the one appealing the judgement, it is the other parent.

I already have a marriage license as well as a list of judges, but I heard they do marriages every week at the courthouse and was wondering what day/s and time/s they do it.

Thanks in advance!
Fulton County in Georgia (USA) to be exact.

I already have a marriage license and a list of judges to contact but I heard they did weekly marriages at the courthouse and I was wondering what day/s and time/s these were held.

Thanks in advance!

Over 6 1/2 years in court, estate finalizing. Finally thrown out of probate and superior court,, but now complaint back in another town and going to superior again. Can this legally be stopped?
Small estate, divided by 5 in the end.
All except one is contesting. I would think since the local probate and superior court have thrown this case out, that it couldn’t be brought back into courts again.
This is just so ridiculous.
not a big estate, just greedy person, and hateful person. wants the remainder of the estate to himself. can’t the judges see what is happening? two courts have thrown it out, and still protesting results.

My mom died this past March. She had no job, she lived off social security income. She also had a trust fund that was liquidated 3 weeks before she passed away and she was paid $11,000. She bought a 2007 Chevy Cobalt for $6500 cash and spent the rest on useless crap. She also owned a 1999 Dodge Stratus. I’m looking to sell the Chevy and I’ve already sold the dodge. Please note she was not married and I’m her only child.
She lived in Minnesota.
She owed a lot of people money. She has about $4000-6000 worth of debt that’s unpaid. (credit cards, cell phone bill, etc.)

What I need to know is :
Are these companies that my mom owes money to going to go after me and take her to probate court? Are they going to go after her so called “estate”?

I might get $6000 total out of her two cars together (the chevy has body damage) and I need to know is it possible for the court to go after me for the money?

My conservatorship for my sister will be contested by my mother’s son who has been violent towards me; therefore, I do not want him to have access to my home address. The probate court clerk would only say that I must request a “relief” from the judge to seal records. Moreover, do to the high legal fees, I am attempting to complete this court proceeding on my own, and I cannot find an example of this court order on the internet.

My grandmother bought a car about 3 weeks before she passed away. Its nothing grand, just a 2001 lumina found at auction. Once she had died, my ******* uncle transferred the car into his name. HOWEVER, the car was left to me in the will. He says he hasnt gotten the title back yet which I dont know if i believe and to be honest, am not speaking to him much anymore since this fiasco. What im wondering is, since it was in her name, and I have the copy of the will, Can this go to probate and fight for what was left to me? And can i legally ask for a copy of the purchase order from the dealership it was purchased at?
Both him and my older sister are power of attorneys and the car was never in his name.

Grandma passed away and I never heard anything from our uncle about what was left to me. How can I find out? If I was in the will, wouldn’t I have to be contacted by the lawyer handling the case?

R.I.P Dad asked:


My father passed away a year ago and things are just starting to go to probate court so I have a few question hopefully someone can help me out with. I’m wondering how does one find out if they can get a Homestead Allowance, the person is a grown adult that was dependent on my father. He didn’t have a wife or minor children at the time of his death. I did read online and it looks like the Homestead Allowance would apply to that person and if that’s so, how would that be filed? Is there a form that must be filed? Can it be found online or would we have to go to the court and file it?

Thanks in advance!
My father has 10 children (all adults) 1 of which lived with him and was financially taken care of by our father. Also this person still lives in the house. So what I’m wondering is this 1 child entitled to the Homestead Allowance?

My aunt died a couple months ago and left no will. She left a house behind with all her possessions inside along with her car. The house as far as I know is paid off in full with a small lien on the property. She leaves behind 4 siblings. My father initially purchased the property, transferred it to her, then legally had his name removed from the deed. Anyway, she has died and we’re not quite sure what to do with her property. At first my family suggested I live in the house as I’m 7 months pregnant and recently laid off and I was going to go this route, but thought it should be done legally. But from what I can tell as there was no will and the property is most likely over 100K in value it has to go through probate, and that means it will be divided up among her siblings as she had no spouse and no children. Two siblings have flat out said they don’t want it, my dad doesn’t want it, and that leaves one sister who most likely won’t want it either. Would the property have to be divided up among them first, then signed over to perhaps my father, who could then sign it over to me? From what I’ve read this process takes a year or more, you have to have an attorney, there are court fees, filing fees, you have to put a notice in the newspaper so creditors can come after the property, etc. I have no money and the lease to my apartment runs out in February (about when the baby is due incidentally). Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. I’m in the state of IL. Otherwise I’m considering “squatting” in the house until someone notices and makes a move on the property as I can’t pay for lawyers, etc. Thanks.
