Don't know what you mean by "save the date".  Check with County Clerk's office in your local court house.

There is no such archive. Wills are not necessarily deposited with anyone in particular, and would only be deposited with the local probate court, not any sort of federal court, which would maintain a national archive.

The will has to be probated in the probate court for the county in which he died. You can call the clerk's office and ask for the docket number and how much it will cost to get a copy. Then send a letter requesting a copy with the fee required and the docket number. Or go to the court and ask for it.\n\nProbate records are public records, not under the control of a lawyer. Some people need to know when to not say anything.

Go to the local courthouse and the clerk there should be able to help. They have paper work there that all you have to do is fill out. Return the papers and they will give you a court date with a judge. Really depends on your state.

File in your current location or the original court that granted the custody order.  You will have to serve court papers on him/publish in newspaper for the court date.  If he fails to show, you might be granted default judgment that will grant you full custody.

The most current legal document is recognized by the court in most states. You can call the clerk of court (family court) to verify this for your county or state. There are plenty of on-line forms or forms that you can buy that you can complete and have notarized and witnessed. You can ammend a form to make null and void, any and all documents dated previous to (then add the current date of the document). Again, check with the clerk of court, as they will have the most accurate information.

Anytime you have something of value, or CHILDREN....it is so important if you have children.....My sons dad passed away January of last year, age 47 and he had no will......His family took him to court after 19 years of "loving him" coming to Birthday Partys, etc for 19 years, and wanted proof that he was his fathers son - we won in court - but cover yourself - ok - for children involved.

It's doubtful that you will find something like that on the internet. I have never heard of the "at least one dollar" and I have lost both parents. Your best bet is to contact the executor of the will.

Contact the local COurthouse, there are probably judges that will do it you just need to schedule it.

Yes it is public record. Contact the county seat where he lived-the Clerk of Court's office will have a copy on record.\n\nWhen my father in law died, his wife refused to let us see the will. We went tot he clerk's office, got a copy, and I believe we had to pay a nominal fee for a copy-I believe it was merely the cost of having the document photocopied. \n\nGood luck to you!\n\n\n*edit-Upon further reading I see you are form Va-Me too. It's very easy to get a copy of the document-go for it.

It depends on which state you are in. Nolo Press has some forms. You might go online to your local family court website and see if they have a copy. You can usually go to  a local law library-law school, county offices(usually have) you could also go to your state attorney generals office and see if they have forms

My husband died unexpectedly 3 weeks ago, without a will. I realize this is a brother but it works the same way.\n\nYou need to go to surrogate court.\n Fill out the form for a executor for small estate (as long as the estate is under $20,000).\n You must list all his assets, property and debts. \nThe filing fee is $1.\n In about 2 weeks (for me) you will get a official copy stating you are the executor of the estate. \nYou must liquefy all assets, pay off all debts starting with his funeral expenses. \nOnce that is paid, you pay off any credit cards or bills he has. After that is done, the remaining monies are distributed to his heirs. \n\nSurrogate court will be very happy to answer any of your questions but...they will not give out legal advice.

You can try, but you don't want to find out it's deficent when it's too late.\n\nYou might try your local lawschool/law library.  My lawschool had a wide selection of forms for do-it-yourselfers.\n\nAnd it might not be so bad to call an attorney.  You might be surprised at how inexpensive it turns out to be.

It may depend on who your father designated as executor.\nIf the CD's were held in Joint Custody they should allow your mother to know. Contact the Banking Commisioner in the state where your father died.

you don't need a form. you may need a lawyer, though.it depends on what you are the beneficiary of. if you are to recieve his life insurance, they will need a death certificate. if you are to receive property such as a house or land, you need to file his will at the county courthouse probate court. if he had no will, you will require a lwayer to finalize the estate for you since different states have different laws governing what has to be done.

1. If the court that would handle the probate is local go there and have the entire court file copied.\n2. Hire an attorney that does probate, have him/her review the court file and advise you of your rights.\n3.  If the court is not local, contact an attorney where the court is, have him/her copy the file and then advise you of your rights.\n4.  To answer your question as best I can, there are all sorts of rules that set out time limits for doing things in court.  Each state has its own set.  However, if you can show that you did not get notice and that you have taken action upon realizing that you had not gotten notice, most courts can essentially waive most of the time limits.  I've recently had a five year old judgment vacated based on lack of adequate notice to the defendant five years ago.\n5. Whatever you do, now that you have some idea that you didn't get the form, move quickly to assert yourself in court.
