Legal Answers
- Q. Do we have to go to probate court for all assets on an estate even if we only have questions on a portion of the estate?
- A: You don't have to go to court at all, if your mother will be administering his estate. Have her meet with an attorney as to what to do, as the attorney will want to review all assets and debts related to the estate, before giving any definitive answer. If you or your sister intend to administer your father's estate, then you or she need to meet with a probate attorney, to iron out all that will be required. The more information regarding your father's assets and how they are all titled that you can bring to the consultation, the better.
- Q. Can I force my teenage son to take a paternity test for an alleged child?
- A: If he can't access the child, he won't be able to get a paternity test, without a court order. He could (through you as his "guardian") file for custody/visitation of the child, and then it would be up to the mother to prove that his is not the father. Once he has access to the child, he could get a paternity test done and/or he could ask for a paternity test when he files for custody/visitation.
- Q. If I borrowed the loan for the house and the deed is on both names, can I leave that house due to substance abuse.
- A: You can leave the house anytime you want. You will still be liable to pay the loan, however. If there is a substance abuse issue, there are other ways to force him to leave (if the right facts apply). Consult with a family law attorney about your options, and take that opportunity to have a discussion about the relevant facts associated with your issue. After obtaining more information from you, the attorney will be in a better position to answer your question relative to YOUR situation (not just a general situation).
