Last Will & Testament
My mother's husband has a Will and he has asked his sister to hold it. His sister lives in another state. He has kept this Will secret and will not discuss it's contents. We believe that he has not provided for our mother, in the event of his death or entry onto nursing care. We also believe that he has hidden savings, probably in another state, and he intends to keep it hidden, even if he or she needs nursing care. Both he and my mother are elderly and failing. My mother has Alzheimer's and he is on the leading edge of dementia. My mother has a small savings, but it will quickly disappear when nursing care starts for either. All of my mother's savings and intentions are known to us, but all of her husband's are not. It will be her savings that is exhausted, if either goes into nursing care. We believe he will expect us to care for him, if my mother should pass away or enter a nursing care. We also believe that he will refuse to help pay for her nursing care, even though he may have hidden resources. We would like to know if there is a way to force him to expose his Will, so we can make the appropriate decisions for his care, should their medical conditions change.
trueFlorida jail time
My two sons accepted a deal offered by the state prosecutor. One was 6 months jail, 5 years probation, and restitution. The other one got 11/29 and 5 years probation and restitution. They set one of their own cars on fire. They did not hurt and other person or property. One brother was in a bad financial situation. They have never done anything else. They have no record. Is it possible, since out local jail is over crowded by 100 inmates already, to get the jail canceled or reduced? This happened over a year ago. They went to every court date and have not gone anywhere. They both have sons of their own to support and take care of. I agree with the probation and restitution. They have fully cooperated. The jail time is a waste of tax payer money. I have tried to talk with our local sheriff but he won't return my calls.
Last Name Change
I was granted the right to return to my maiden name when I divorced in 1988. It was not implemented at that time. Is it too late to implement that now without another legal filing?
I am filing a quitclaim deed in Galveston County to transfer a property from my father to me. No money is involved in the transaction. There are back taxes owed which will become my responibility. The title company says I have to file for a new warrenty deed which they will prepare and of course charge me for.
Who approves the quitclaim? The county or the title company.
