Estate distibution

It will be @least 3-more years before my mother-in-law's estate has been finalized. If my husband should die before the estate is final, am I intitled to his share? My husband is one of three siblings. He also has a son from a prior marriage.

Principal's address - Power of Attorney

I am working on power of attorney papers for someone who is incarcerated for the next 4 months in Indiana. Should I list his home address or his address at the jail? I'm afraid if I list the jail's address, his address won't match what the bank and insurance company show and they may question the document.

Death with no will

My husband killed himself.he had no will. He killed himself because the court gave his property to another person. The property was in an appeal by another person, now that appeal is in limbo. The other person has opened a probate case on my husband for real proeprty only. They have tried to force me to become the adminastrator.but there is no property. I have gone to 5 attorneys, none of them will touch this probate case because they say there is no estate.But this jerk wants the appeals case to come to an end and he keeps taking me back to probate court and trying to force me to be the adminastrator. I have told them I am not an attorney and I do not have the money to go throught this legal affair when the property belongs to someone else.Help!!! What can I do? I have gone to legal aid but they only cover family law.

Trust and Co Trustee

My sister is a trustee along with my brother, of my mom and dads estate, she has been stealing money, over the course of time, and the estate was to be disbursed amongst beneficiaries, one of which i am, my mom just past away in April, and now other family members realize that i was telling the truth years ago about her, can the Co Trustee remove her from the estate, and take over? I have no money, and cannot hire an attorney right now, but want to know if there is a court, or some organization that can help, the main thing is how do we get her removed and get an accounting which she refuses to do, will a judge order her to do so, and can i do it without an attorney/

possible abuse of power by executor/ trustee

My father and his sister were named co trustee/executor for my grandparents' estate when my grandfather died 2 years ago. All financial assets were divided, and my grandfather's portion was put into trust to be disbursed at my grandmother's death, on a % basis. The will stipulates all real properties are to be sold and proceeds divided among beneficiaries on the same % basis. My aunt, the executor/trustee, along with her children, all of whom live locally (Georgia) and all of whom are beneficiaries, have been cajoling my grandmother into giving them real property items of considerable financial worth (ie jewelry) from the estate, as well as money gifts. We are trying to decide if my aunt is acting illegally or just badly. Is it a breech of her obligations as a trustee to wheedle high-value items from my grandmother that would otherwise contribute to the value of the estate? Is this a breech of her duty of loyalty to all beneficiaries, as her actions are denigrating the ultimate value of the estate assets? My brother believes that since real property is named only as a financial asset in the will, all gifted items should be appraised and their financial equivalent deducted from their inheritance. Thank you for any help.

Beneficiary rights to review the will

Compulsory Accounting

My brother and mother took out a joint loan on my mom's house 13 or so years ago which my brother paid back and has cancelled checks for. The debt was paid off in 1995 or so. Without anything in writing, can my brother (the executor) of the estate, claim this as a creditor and take back the money from the estate? I am considering a compulsory accounting as negotiations have gone nowhere basically, and morally I feel my brother misled my mom by telling her way back that he was taking care of her, but, now, he is taking back that money after she has passed with no written agreement. Am I right here? Would a compulsory accounting help me?

Guardian.. contesting of

My mom stroked in June. She can't

talk but can nod/shake her head to yes and no questions and seems cognitive but is slow about making decisions.

When her will was drawn, she created a trust instrument naming a brother as trustee in the event she becomes disabled and unable to manage her affairs.

My siblings are divided into two factions. I am opposed to the ''trustee brother''.

I called the lawyer who is working for the ''trustee brother'' asking if the brother had or was to have ''durable power of attorney'' the lawyer would not give me any information (conflict of interest - I guess). This morning I went to the courthouse to find what information I could and fount that a Petition for Appointment of Guardian for Disapled Person was filed and is scheduled for Hearing on Thursday 13 September 2007, in two days without any notification to me.

To contest this brother being named guardian - should I show up for this initial hearing and will it be conducted like a regular trial? Will the judge allow me time to interview the hiring of a lawyer? What if I have recourse if Iskip the initial hearing? Is there much success contesting such a will?

Will

My cousin died 4,25,2007, I was left $10,000 in his will. I have been contacted by the probate atty to get my SS#, dob and phone. It has been over a year. IS this a normal lenght of time? Should I receive interest on this money?

My parents Will is 25 years old.

How do I stress the need to revise this? I am certain laws have changed, properties are not the same, etc. They are in PA and I am in Colorado. I have siblings, but they are my Dad's kids, not my Mom's. My parents continue to ask what I am worried about that I get everything (and they trust me to divide it fairly); however, I know they are not ''well off'' and I may wind up responsible for debt, future hospitalizations, mortgage payments, etc.
