Is there a statue of limitations to execute a will? If so, how long?

That's 'statute' of limitations, and it depends on which state you file that will in.

anullments are usually given based on certain criteria, like for example that the marriage was never consummated or that one of the partners was coerced into marrying the other against his/her will, or something else that would make the agreement invalid.  if the criteria are met, i don't think that there is any time limit, but that might depend on a particular state's laws

If someone dies and has a will, most states have a requirement that the original will be deposited with the nearest probate court.  The time limits vary by state, but it makes the will public record and allows the beneficiaries to initiate probate if necessary.  It also notifies governmental agencies of the death.  Consult an attorney in your state to determine the specific time deadline where you live.

In WA, the statute of limitations is 6 years. They cannot go after you. Please see the link below, for the limitations. This site also lists the fines and laws they are violating, as well as sample letters to get them to stop. Good luck!

I assume you are referring to the lease.  The statute of limitations would be based on your state law.  Usually, statues of limitations for contracts run about four to six years, although some have gotten rid of limitations altogether for renters.

I think you can get a copy of the will from the courthouse if it is in probate. If it is just a handwritten will and hasn't been notarized or legally written up, then maybe an attorney might help you. You can contest the will.

Was it already probated?  If so there'd be a copy at the court house.  If not it has to come either from his lawyer or another family member who has a copy.  Most locations a copy is good enough if it bears the signatures of the person and witnesses.  Some however don't allow copies to be used.  If you're arguing over the will it will be going to court anyway so why not ask the family member?  They'll be compeled by the court to produce it anyway regardless of it's contested or not.

Depending on how busy your particular probate court is, I would say 6 months should be the max.  Unless they ran into a problem somewhere with a faulty deed or something like that.  Then it could be up to a year.\n\nCall them and ask about it.  You may be able to help them speed up the process.

Find out who was his lawyer - maybe they can help.  Do you know who was the executor.  Can you remember at the time any dealings with regard to property or lawyers that can at least give you a starting point.  I do not think that wills are public property so you would need the lawyer or executor's permission.

The Trustee can recover any inheritance obtained within 180 days of your case filing.   After that, only post-petition creditors have any claims against your inheritances.  And then, your inheritance may be in a trust an protected from creditors by a spend-thrift provision.

You can get a simple will at 'Staples'.  Make sure that you have it notarized properly with witnesses.  I did my notarization at my bank for no charge.

My father just passed without a will so I've been through something similar.\nIf there is a will then the law is to follow the instructions of the will. It can be contested but that takes time and money.\nIf there is no will then someone has to send a petition to the courts in his, the deceased, state and request to be appointed guardian/executor of the estate. It is easier to have the "permission" of the other siblings so it won't be contested. Once the court approves the petition then his estate, assests thereof, will be used, sold if necessary to pay off any and all debts the person had. What is left after that is divided between the surviving brothers and/or sisters. Children of deceased siblings are not usually included in the division, but can be. Hope this helps.

Actually, there is no time limit for a physician to bill\nfor services rendered. \nAre you the executor of the estate? The physician's office should be directed to that person. Is the physician even aware that the person is deceased?  They should be told. Some physician offices will ask for copy of the  death certificate for verification. If the bill is coming from a collection agency, then the 5 year rule that was mentioned previously would apply.

There are all sorts of legal remedies against the person if they do that.  What is very common is for people to be dissatisfied with the execution of a will and falsely claim that others such as the attorney and executor have abused their position.
