Q: Mom died no will. no spouse,2 daughters.I live in her home, can I get the home in my name, no probate?
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
You will need to do a set aside probate proceeding if you pay off the medical bills or a summary probate proceeding if you want to try and avoid paying the medical bills.
Q: I would like to know what happens to an estate if there is no will and there is no next of kin that claims it?
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
If the estate consists of financial account, they will be turned over to either the county or state treasurer. Eventually the state will claim the funds through the process of escheat. Then the next of kin will have five years to sue the state to get the money back. Before the escheat happens, though, the funds will probably be in the unclaimed property division of the state treasurer where they can be claimed by the next of kin through a simpler probate process.
Q: My dad died & there is no will. He owns property. He has 2 kids, plus a step son. How do I start probate? Am I entitled?
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
If there was no will and he left two biological adult children and a step son who he did NOT legally adopt, you and other biological child should share in the estate, unless the other biological child is a minor and the value of the estate is not more than $100,000 in which case the minor child has priority. You start probate by calling a lawyer. However, the lawyer will immediately ask you what assets your father left. For example, did he own a home? If so, what is it worth after deducting the...
