Last Jan 07 my wife’s father-in-law died. We have been waiting for the will to be probated. We just found out today that the step mother-in-law had already probated the will back in June without letting the children know. The county clerk told us that there was a lot of other paper work filed. A motion to dismiss, a motion to reinstate, and something about a lost will. We also found out that she was the executor of the will. Can you be an executor of a will that you will benefit from? And can you probate a will without notifying the heirs?
When she pop her clogs as you put, wouldn’t she just put her own family in her will still leaving us out?
Sorry, I meant he is my father-in-law and her father. The house is not the problem. It is his business that had been the family business for 3 gen. She has taken it and sold the whole thing. His boys and his daughter got nothing. They didn’t want any money. Just his old hand tools and mementos of the business. All of that is gone now.
She did put a public notice in a newspaper. Only she put it in the paper in the town she lives in and we are on the other side of the state of Tx
When we got over to town the day after his death, the step-mother told us that he had just re-written a new will. But that he never got it filed so that they would have to use his old will that was filed in 2001. She said not to worry about it cause we would be happy with what we got. The step-mother grandson told me that he was the executor of the will and he had a copy and his lawyer had a copy on file. The next day the boys got into a fight over his personal handtools and she kicked them out saying that she would be changing the will. Now 8 months later we find that the will has been probated, she was the executor and there was some kind of filing for a lost will. What lost will if there were two copies? Since the children were never notified this must mean that their names was not mentioned in the will. Even tho when we talked with the file clerk after the funeral she said that there were papers with the boys names mentioned on file.
This man loved all his children.

I personally want someone that can help me manage a recently won large sum of money. I want someone that’s particular experienced with lottery winners. I want someone that can be trusted,have more to lose then gain far as reputation and they would try to swindle me out of my money. If someone can also give more advise and recommend a good lawyer that will be nice as well.

Could it create a conflict of interest? I’m thinking that if my family or friends would already be grieving, I wouldn’t want to put another huge, complicated burden on them. I don’t have a lawyer I know well and trust, but the financial advisor is a pretty upstanding guy (I think!!!). The fees he would receive for this work would be similar to those a lawyer would take, right?
Thanks for any advice!

I have file a claim to the probate court of a deceased person. The probate court says that I have to send a copy of the claim to the adminstrator of the estate. That person has refused to sign for the claim. What can I do to get a signature that it was rec’d? This is a legal matter and I must get it signed. I can not afford a lawyer.

My mother and my uncle are contesting my grandfather’s will. The lawyer says he will go on and file the will after 10 days in probate with or without the waivers and state that the heirs who do not sign the waivers are being "uncooperative". My mother has a lawyer who she will show the papers to on Monday, but I was wondering, can the will be filed without the waivers? Should my mother go ahead and contest the will before the 10 days are up?

My In-Laws are planning to move back to the Philippines next year and walk away from their house, cars and credit card debt. However their "plan" is to live off their retirement that they will be getting from Social Security and what they acquired while working for the Post Office.

Can they get away with that? Im not a lawyer but this doesn’t sound right to me. They seem to think it wont be an issue and they checks will continue to come.

In 1996 it was possible for my cousin and me to probate our aunt’s will without the help of a lawyer. No one would help us, we did all the research of forms needed. Has the law changed or am I being ignored again, when I ask the question?
