Wills and Estates
Why is the state asking my mother to find heirs to my uncle's estate?
My mother lives in California. Her brother recently passed away. The state is now involved in settling his affairs; however, they want my mother to locate possible heirs to what remains of my uncle's estate. Is that not THEIR job? Also, why are they seeking out nieces and nephews? Shouldn't his remaining assets go to immediate family only (i.e., surviving brothers & sisters)?
How can I find information about my grandparents' will?
Where can I find out information about a will and testament that my grandparents left, but my family does not want to open?
Is there a law in Utah requiring a trustee to provide expense details to heirs?
Is there a law requiring an executor of a trust to send an itemized cost list of the expence's of the attorney, bills, and the rest of the estate to the living heir's. Also is there a time frame for this information? This is in Utah.
What rights do I have as a beneficiary in my father's will?
What are my rights as a beneficiary in my father's will. Can I see how the money is being spent, taxes, investments made?
Can an affidavit of heirship be accepted for a life insurance policy?
My father passed away over a year ago, and my mother in the past month. She still had him listed as the beneficiary on her policy. Does the insurance company have to accept an affidavit of heirship (it is only a 30,000 dollar policy) or can my brother and I be forced into probate court. There is no other real property to be divided.
