Both California and the Philippines require lodging of the original will, which is obviously not possible for concurrent proceedings. What do I do?

You open a "main" probate in the state of the decedent's last residence. Then you open an "ancillary" probate in the other state. You lodge with the other state a triple certified copy of the will lodged in the main probate.

Yes. Workers comp considers all income - having it on your W2 just makes it easier to verify.
My checks are often 0 after all of the taxes paid on my tips. I am in California

I was in an auto accident where my insurance found me 80% liable. I was pulling out of a parallel parking space, and the other party was turning right onto my road from another road.

they have the same interest as you in paying less, not more money on the claim.
they deal with these cases day in and day out and know what they are doing.
if it is... Read more »
