This depends on your state law. Generally, you have one year from the date of death to file a petition to open an estate in Probate court. Court documents are public documents. If you think a petition has already been filed, go to the county where you grandmother lived and ask the clerk to look up her case. They can give you the information. If it hasn't been filed yet and there was no will, then you could petition to have her estate opened. Contact a probate attorney to help you.
No. US Unclaimed Money is not a scam. However, it is probably used as a tool to lure people in to being scammed.I spend a lot of time searching for unclaimed money for people all over the United States, and I know that there is unclaimed money to be claimed.All types of unclaimed property can be found and claimed, and millions of people are potential owners until proven otherwise.
The administrator must close out the estate and distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. If there are testamentary reasons to delay the distribution, such as valuation issues, waiting on liquidation of assets, finding heirs or resolving liabilities, distributions can be made prior to the ending of the estate. But their must be a reason to delay closing the estate.
There is a National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (assuming that you are in the United States) that will be able to help you with your unclaimed funds. The NAUPA website also has a search facility.
No. The estate is responsible for any estate taxes. However, if your bequest involves a substantial amount of money you should seek professional advice. The attorney who is handling the estate should be able to advise you. If you get paid a fee for your services as the Administrator, that fee is treated as income and should be claimed on your tax return.
A fiduciary is one who owes a duty of good faith, trust, confidence and a high standard of care in managing the property and money of another. An executor or administrator of an estate is a fiduciary. Therefore an estate account is also called a fiduciary account. The short answer to your question is yes.
Yes,I am administrator of their estate and it has come to my attention that they have some unclaimed money from your company.
If your grandmother is still living, you can't. If she is deceased, the executor of the will is required to notify you if you are in the will. If there is no will, and your parents are deceased, then you should contact the probate court and/or executor.
Yes, they can. Often a creditor will file for an estate so they can collect their money.
No. If your stepmother was executor of the estate, she still is the executor and entitled to those funds, not you.
Most are probably illegitimate. If you are left an inheritance, the executor or administrator of the estate will contact you. However, in the United States there is a website (unclaimed.org) which aims to connect people to unclaimed property or money, which may even be claimed by heirs.
The executor or administrator of the estate should sue those people for the wrongful taking of the decedent's money. If the sibling who stole the money is the executor or administrator, you can bring an action in the probate court to have that person removed as executor or administrator and have another person appointed who would sue for the return of the money.
The Administrator of an estate must file an inventory listing all the assets and when the estate has been settled must file a final account that states where all the assets went. They are required to account for all money they spent or distributed. Therefore they cannot squander money from the estate. An administrator is subject to the provisions of the state laws that govern fiduciaries. They can be prosecuted for stealing from the estate or for wasting the assets. They are personally responsible for making restitution if they mishandle the estate assets. You can go to the court and review the file. If they haven't filed an inventory or account then file a complaint with the probate court. An administrator who fails to perform their duties can be removed.
The administrator of an estate simply takes care of the details. When there is an administrator, he decides how the estate will be divided. The spouse has no rights to the stocks and bonds. The spouse has rights to a percent of the estate as determined by the law, will, or probate judge. The administrator can decide to give the spouse only stocks, only bonds, or only cash. The administrator can sell everything and divide the money. That is the way it works.
