Legal Answers
- Q. pour over will FL my dad passed in 2022. all assets or debt he owned my went back to my grandmother she passed in
- A: Beneficiaries of an estate or trust can hire an attorney to represent their interests and help them review and make decisions about any documents that are presented to them such as a receipt and waiver. I strongly encourage you to consult with an experienced probate attorney who is willing to represent beneficiaries in what could become a contested matter.
- Q. Is there anything I need to do to make sure I'm not loosing my inheritance?
- A: If your mother resided in Kansas and her home is located in Kansas, then you need to repost this question under Kansas to be answered by a probate attorney in that state.
- Q. The house and property I have lived in for15 years has 3 years delinquent taxes. It's in my dad's name and he paid taxes
- A: It is important that the taxes be paid before the date of the tax sale. Check the tax collector's website to see all the instructions for paying the taxes so close to a tax sale deadline. Anyone can pay the taxes, so it is okay for you to be the one to pay them. Typically, where there is already a tax sale scheduled, the tax collector requires that all delinquent years be paid to stop the sale. However, if you are experiencing hardship, you can contact the tax collector to see if the sale can be stopped with just the payment of the oldest year.
