Probate

I am 56 years old. DNA testing established paternity. My father is now ill an not likely last past the next 3 months. I would like to claim my share of his estate. He lived in Cincinatti, OH. I live in Birmingham, AL. What do I do to initiate the process either prior to his death or after his death?

My husband died in April 2010, no will. In Feb 2010 he paid cash for a pickup for an employee and put himself as lienholder, he died before we got a note typed. What are our rights as heirs in regards to this truck?

My Mom died in PR in Jan 26 but left 2 lands in Gainesville, Florida which I have the deeds. I only have 1 brother and we are the only survivors. Do I need the Affidavit of Heirship or Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship to change the land to our names and ensure that if one of dies, the land belongs to the other one.

We established a quick claim deed between a Mother and 3 sons on real estate property in 1999. When she dies does the quick claim deed bypass probate in State of Wisconsin?

My great aunt passed away almost 3 month ago. While she was alive she told my mother (her niece) and me (her great niece) that she had put my name on one of her savings accounts that holds $50,000 while we were visiting her (she lived in Noblesville Indiana). She went to the bank and put my name on her savings account including my address. She did this because my mother lives in Germany and I live in the United States which she thought would make it easier for us to receive the money after she passes away. She also has a nephew who lives in Noblesville and whom I believe she had made her power of attorney in case anything ever happens to her. My question is I am not sure if she had a will or not. If she did and her nephew was on the will. Will I ever receive the money from the savings account or not. I don't have any documentation about this and don't know the name of the bank. Is there anything I can do to find this out?
