Question about intestate estate? |
Alright, my father passed away and left an unsigned will. Everything was to go to me(executor and successor status) but he didn't get to sign it before he died. The three siblings will allow me to become executor like the will says, but they want their "say" in things(I'm assuming they want their share in the estate). The will is irrelevant. It's unsigned and won't be admitted. Unless it's a large estate, there won't be any taxes. Also, the estate may have to go through probate, which is a real mess. You need to talk to a good estate attorney. The estate will be divided according to state law since he died intestate. If the four of you are the ONLY living heirs according to state law then you should each receive 1/4th of the net estate. However if your father had any siblings, they and their issue could be included in the list of heirs depending upon the state laws in effect at the time of his death. |
