When a person dies intestate (without a will) the state law effectively writes one for you. \nAt the very least you will need a death certificate.  That goes for everything that is in your mother's name.  (I'm assuming your father is not in the picture, either through divorce or death).  \n\nGoogle:  (your state)  "without a will"

You can purchase will documents, I imagine it would have to be notarized at least once written, I don't know the legalitites here. \nIf they feel so strongly the brother doesn't have anything ..ask them to please state this as to not cause ill feelings between you and your brother after they have passed, if they are not in fact already this way. However there would be enough for his "other grandchild" to have something left as well. You stated before this is big money so thier is plenty. Just make sure you open an savings acct for the other child and have co-ownership to the acct. (If you open It I would think you could do this.)The same thing goes for your mom, I'd ask that she have written to whom goes what after her passing so you don't have to worry about it after her passing and while she is in good and sound mind. Anyone of us could get in an auto accident and pass tomorrow.  Its a good thing for everyone to have and update when need be.

Go to your local department of licensing or department of motor vehicles.

You may wish to check with an attorney but for the most part the standard practice is this;\n\nSend her a registered letter. Inform her that if the property is not picked up in 30 days it is considered abandoned and under the law it will be disposed of. The property actually becomes yours to sell or toss out.\n\nAfter 30 days she s**t out of luck. Just be sure to send any correspondence registered receipt.\n\nYou do have to retain her stuff but after 30 days and the letter...ha!...no self respecting cop would pinch you.

Some states have a register of wills. Check with your local court house. \n\nSecondly, get an attorney ASAP, if there is no will found. It will need to go through probate, and the sooner you start the quicker you'll get through all the nonsense. Probate would involve all of her unsecured debt being paid off prior to distributing any money to living siblings. All siblings would have to be contacted, and the estated would be divided equauly.

State procedures vary, but in  general the will must be admitted to probate; the court will have to issue some type of order that you are in fact the owner; the order & death cert. will have to be recorded in the public records.  You will also have to submit and/or record some clearance from the court or your states' tax collector, and/or the IRS that there are no estate taxes due.\n\nBring the will to a local attorney.

You need to speak with an attorney who specializes in family law and preferrably has experience in handling estates as well. With your Father having no will I believe you and your sibling(s) are entitled to a portion of his estate. How much I don't know. Depending on which state you live in you may be able to find some information online. If you can tell us which State I'll help you look and post back here links that I find. \n\nI am so sorry for your loss. At 22 you shouldn't have to deal with this. \n\nIf your parents were legally separated that may be a good thing. You did mention having proof with some type of legal documentation. \n\nIf I were you I would get as much of your ducks in a row as possible before confronting your Mother. \n\nGood Luck.. I hope you are successful.\n\nBren... you don't allow email. Start here.... \n\n1-800-221-9576  It is a phone number for the Legal Consumer Guide for California.

The property has to be owned by somebody.  If the property belonged to a deceased family member and no one ever came forward to take legal possession as per a will, then most likely someone else owns it now.  It would have been sold for non-payment of property taxes.  If they know the municipality in which the property was located then check with the local tax assessors office.

I'm in Australia.  As far as I'm aware the estate of the deceased person is required to pay the outstanding debts.  So your mother, as beneficiary, is required to pay the debts out of the money that was left to her, rather than out of her own money.  If there is insufficient money in the estate, then it will not be necessary for her to make up the shortfall.

Sorry to hear about your loss.  You will probably need a probate attorney or talk with your stepmother on getting the items.  Problem:  He married her and she become the first beneficiary without a will.  Technically, everything will go to her.  If there were no spouse, it would be the kids and so on.  But since there is a spouse, work it out with her or hire an attorney and send everything to probate.  You might still not win unless you have witnesses to back up your side of the story.  Legally, she gets everything.

You can also search the social security administration...a person's information is posted online after they have passed. I don't know how long it takes for the info to post though since, with my grandfather it happened within only a few months but, with my Dad it took nearly a year. There are a number of ways that you can search for her name &, if you find her file, it will tell you when she passed, etc.\n\nGood luck!

If you are beneficiary of their estate, speak to a lawyer who can set up the paperwork.  The ATO will probably have a form that needs to be submitted along with the part in the will which names you the beneficiary.\nThe phone number is 13 28 61

Go see a lawyer IN THE SAME STATE AS YOUR FATHER and explain this situation.  Then hang around your father like a tick on a cold day until he signs a will.\n\nThis is the only good way to protect your mother from poverty or delayed property transfers while she is grieving.  All this should be settled now, in advance, based on the blessing of your father knowing he's going to die as well as about WHEN that's going to happen.\n\nYour mother's grief will be ENORMOUSLY AGGRAVATED if her husband dies without a will ("intestate" is the word for that).

You can only get things online when they have been put online by someone (I guess that is a "no duh" statement).  I seriously doubt someone's (a living person's) will would be online unless they purposely put it there.  Most people keep their wills in a safe deposit box.  It may possibly end up online after they have already passed away if it goes through probate.  Other documents may end up online (like wedding or death certificates) because they are public record at the county clerk's office.  They might be found online if your county images documents and has a website.

The above or your County Clerks office.\nI'm sorry for your loss.

They have tonsof resources available as does United Way and others.\n\nYou can post a question to this law webite (for free) and get up to 4 responses from attorneys in your area- go to www.lawguru.com\n\nSo sorry to hear this is happening, and so close to Christmas too.
