Legal Answers
- Q. Is it illegal if a parent 'legally' robbed their child of their inheritance left in a will by her father before death?
- A: Those of us born out of wedlock can inherit pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-1-8, a Rhode Island law that was first enacted in 1905. That 1905 law was probably enacted prior to the time of your great-grandfather's death, and would have prevented a finding that your grandmother could not inherit.

- Q. I want to file for divorce in state of RI. What are my first steps. Doesn’t look like it will be an amicable divorce.

The division of the estate between the living sibling and the descendants of the three deceased siblings is the correct distribution under Rhode Island law. As for the amount of money in the estate and how much is left, you can find out from the case file. The probate court has the file and it is public. You can go to the probate court and request to look at it. You can also request to make a copy of it.
