Q. I'm the only child&next to kin.My dad is a deceased veteran who had mental illness. Conservator took advantage of him

25 February 2020

A: If you have no money to pay an attorney up front, you might want to see if you can find an attorney that believes the case will be successful and may take your case on a contingency basis. If an attorney does not think any money will be recovered, they may not take the case, or may require up front money. If you need legal help for free, your next option is to contact legal services in your area to see if they can assist.

Q. My mother died nearly 24 years ago she is now named in her brother will. I am the only child am I entitled to her share?

25 February 2020

A: It definitely depends what the Will itself says. Sometimes a deceased beneficiary's share does pass to his/her children. Other times it can lapse and in effect pass to the remaining named beneficiaries. It truly depends on how the will is worded. When the estate goes through probate you will be notified if you are a beneficiary.

Q. Property left to me and 2 siblings. If Will authorizes me to sell the property do I still need court permission in CT.

22 November 2019

A: The Will must still be filed with the Probate Court. If you are named Executor in the Will, the Court will go through the process of admitting the Will and appointing you as Executor. Without that appointment from the Court, you are not authorized to sell the home. The fact that the Will states you have authority to sell, only means that after you are appointed, you can sell the home without needing to file additional paperwork with the Court to approve the sale. In addition to needing the Court's appointment as Executor in order to sell the home, you will need the release of estate tax liens to record on the land records to clear title to the property. These tasks can be done on your own, but I do recommend hiring an experienced estate administration attorney to assist you. Regarding the sibling, this will depend on exactly what the will says. If he has an issue with the sale or he won't leave, the Court will be your resource for resolving this issue. Again, an attorney would be advisable if you expect an issue.
