Wills and Estates

My father passed away a few months back. My parents were not divorced but my father had not included my mother in his will. My mother is suffering from memory loss for quite a few years, and she is in my care. We live in North Dakota. Can I exercise elective share on behalf of my mother?

I and my husband were living separately. We were not divorced, but did not had warm relations. My husband passed away two months back in an accident. I’m not provided for in his will. Can I get proceeds from the insurance he was holding at the time of his death? We were living in North Dakota, and I’m still living there.

My friend died of heart attack two days after his wife passed away in a car accident in North Dakota. They do not have any kids and both of them do not have parents now. The only person living in surviving them is my friend’s wife’s maternal grandmother who stays in the same town. My friend has left behind a huge property, and no will. Who would get the property? Are grandparents eligible to get intestate share?

My father passed away a month back in North Dakota. He did not leave any will behind. Will his property be inherited by my mother who is still alive or will I directly inherit the intestate share of my father?

What are the rights of illegitimate children to inherit from their Father in New York?
