My sister passed away in Alaska... Our parents are deceased and all siblings live in Tennessee.... she does have a grown son however my sister gave him to his other grandparents... I am not sure if he was adopted or they got legal guardianship over him... Her son has not had any contact with her in years... He is a convicted felon and has been in prison most of his life... He just got out of jail... The funeral home was allowing the siblings to make funeral arrangements but all of the sudden the sun steps in and takes over everything... I seen where it said by law he cannot be over anything because he is a convicted felon... All He is wanting is money... We have several letters that he had written my sister is threatening her... She was scared of him... He will not allow us to have her buried... He said he was going to cremate her......we know if he cremates her all he is going to do is throw her ashes out of the dumpster somewhere because he did not care about her... We want her body released to us so we can bring her home to bury her... We do not want him to have anything to do with her estate... We have no money for a lawyer and we don't know what to do we are devastated... He is sending threatening letters to my sister via text... We want this to stop we want her back and we want worst states to go to us which is what she would want... She has stated many times she wasn't leaving him anything... We do not know if she has life insurance I will or anything because we are no longer allowed to be involved in it because of her son... My question is with him being a felon is he entitled to anything?... And can he be over her estate... Like I said I read where he cannot be involved because he is a felon... Time is of essence as my sister has laid in a funeral home for over a week now... So with him being a felon in Tennessee and it states that he cannot inherit anything but it says Alaska he can I am confused... How does that work when one state says no and the other state says yes?...
