when dad died in 2001, i was told he had made a will giving my sister a life estate to his house and property,and a truck. she had the truck put in her name and i would like to know if that is legal because she can`t show me a will and no will has been probated.
i have a copy of a will he made in 1987 that says everything was to be divided up in 7th by his 7 children.but this will has not been probated either.wouldn`t the court have to convey the truck to her by probate and wouldn`t there have to be a deed giving her a life estate.there is nothing at the court house about a deed. thank you for any help

Family Home Dispute Question

Mom died & my brother got to stay in the home since he was living there when she died. He put a lock on the door & a not trespassing sign on the porch. He moved a girlfriend & kids in that uses drugs and the social services made him move because it got so dirty. He moved, but left us with the mobile home to dispose of and to pay lot rent. Can we make him liable instead of us to sell the home and keep rent paid since he wouldn’t let us in to get any of mom’s stuff (mementos that we gave her)?

Obtaining Medical Records of deceased parent

Posted on : 13-08-2010 | By : Legal Information | In : Legal Questions, Wills & Estates

My mother in law passed away last month. There was no estate and no will. So there is no administrator or executor of any estate. My husband is trying to obtain her medical records for the nursing home that she was in but they are stating that he has to be the administrator or executor. There was no estate so what are our legal rights to obtain her medical records. There is no surviving spouse so does that mean that my husband has the right of access to his mother’s medical records because he is the deceased child? Does next of kin come into it? We reside in Pennsylvania.

I have a GSTT at the Northern Trust in Illinois where it was set up in the 1990’s. After my father’s death my mother moved to Washing state, in 2000, to live. She died in 2006 and the administration of the trust remained in Ill. I would like to transfer the administration of my trust to the Northern Trust Seattle office and am wondering if there are any legal issues prohibiting such a transfer.

death and co-signer

Posted on : 02-08-2010 | By : Legal Information | In : Bankruptcy & Debt, Legal Questions, Wills & Estates

My business partner and I entered into a secured loan with his grandmothers estate/credit as the cosigner. She passed away and our loan balance was still $21,000.00. My partner claimed that this was his inheritance and that the estate would take care of it, Especially that this was a business loan and our business is hanging on by a thread with us both now earning in the area of $10,000. per year. Accordingly the debt was paid to close the estate.

I was just received a letter from his fathers attorney threatening legal action and a demand for $25,000.00. Do I have any recourse other than bankruptcy?

My father died 2 years ago and my sister (the beneficiary) received notice from his insurance company and a form to fill out so she can receive the life insurance money. My sister intends to divide the money with our sister and I, the problem is: She just declared bankruptcy and is afraid we’ll all lose the money, what can we do?

Thanks, Larry
