"Beneficiary question?  I am in Texas and I am named as a beneficiary in my grandfather's will. He also left some accounts for me with a POD.  Are the POD accounts counted in probate or can I get access to them without probate? How do I go about finding out what is mine? How long does my father have to notify me with my grandfather's wishes? Father is very dishonest and I have not had contact with him since I was a child. I do not trust him. I could get an attorney but that is a last resort. Thanks for your time!"\n\nThe quick answer to your question is "Keep track of the probate progress of your grandfather's will and get involved as much as necessary even if that means appearing without an attorney."\n\nGenerally speaking, bank accounts that are held under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act are payable to a beneficiary under operation of law (no through a testamentary process) as a trust account-- at a certain age depending on your local laws (generally 18, 21 or 25 years of age).  Additionally, if the accounts you speak of weren't UGMA but were held jointly-- with your grandfather's name and your name-- then you (or your legal parent or guardian if you're under 18) are generally entitled to access to the account upon that person's death by operation of law since you have a joint interest.  And, of course, trust accounts (that you don't mention specifically) are also exist and are distributed by operation of law.\n\nThat said, probate judges have significant latitude in securing the assets of a deceased person to ensure payments to appearing creditors and to ensure the administrator of an estate can carry out the last wishes of the deceased as articulated in the will.\n\nSince you believe you have a claim to assets now held in your grandfather's name, you should go to the probate proceedings and let the judge know you have that interest and want it to be protected as you believe your father as administrator may not recognize it.  Even where the monies might pass to you by operation of law, your appearance at probate helps to ensure your interests are protected.\n\nYou don't need an attorney to appear and to speak on your own behalf.  But if the monies are significant, having an attorney is probably a good idea.\n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]

POD stands for payable on death.  It goes outside of probate.  Try contacting the bank directly.

Well that's up to the kids. Do you mean as far as a burial or cremation? I mean what are you asking? If the person had nothing when they died there is nothing for the kids to get but debt when they bury them. If the Kids don't want to do that the state will put them in a paupers grave some place.

I am sorry for your loss and my condolences to you and your family.As long as you or any family member has not co-signed on any of her debts the creditors will have to just eat that debt, as far as their constant harrasment you may want to provide them with a copy of the death certificate or mark the correspondence deceased return to sender and that may get most of them off your back .

Ya might need to check with the Office of Vital Statistics or whatever the office is that you get them from in your state.\n\nSometimes there are rules about those things as far as your reasons behind wanting a death certificate you'll need to check if you are allowed that piece of paper before worrying about whether it's worth anything.\n\nA certified document of any kind is going to cost a fee but as far as your asking, your looking to get the paper for monetary investment reasons  which is pretty lousy.\n\nAlthough you have a right to have anything you want notwithstanding the laws that govern your ability to obtain them I believe if people thought  they could make money off of them you could be buying them on the internet anyhow.\n\nHave you  even googled it?  Check it out maybe you wasted the points on the question when the answer was there the whole time!!!\n\nAnyhow good luck in the quest for riches as everyone thinks they can be better off and this is the nation to try to do it.\n\n..........think about it.................

First of all...God Bless your mother!  I commend her for what she is doing for your Grandmother!  We went through this same thing with my Grandma a few years back.  What we found what the best answer for us...and the least costly was...we hired a lady to live with and care for Grandma.  Most of her pay was room and board...paid her a small weekly wage, and she stayed 24/7 and only taking off 1 afternoon a week and every other weekend.  Then, we called an in home health nursing facility to come in daily for medication, bathing, anything the live in was not qualified to do.  The live in was responsible for meals, house cleaning, companionship, making sure her bed was clean.  (My Grandma was bedridden for the last 8 months she was alive)...this live in companion/caregiver enabled her to stay in her own home until she passed.  We found the live-in by running an ad in the newspaper. Please feel free to send me an email and I will go into more detail.  By the way..we are in Indiana.  I would be glad to help you research and answer any questions I can.  This is a very tough situation for everyone involved.....My Prayers and thoughts will be with you!

Yes there are many ways to get info on anyone even me or your self  if you google you take a chance to getting wrong info belive it or not there may be many more people with same name as that person best way and it cost about $20 is to go to the states web site  like here in flordia we have fdle "flordia department law enforcment\n\nfor as little $20 you can do a back ground check on anyone in that state there are also other sites out there if you google looking for back ground on so and so these site will pop up and some you can pay as little as $5-10 for phone number and a part of back ground check but your best bet is to find your state law enforcement page try to do back ground serch on there\n\n if you have one of there ss numbers you can do a credit check too,but answer to your question yes you can find out almost anything on anyoneoff the internet if there breathing someone has the dirt on them..\n\nalso there is a fedral law  called grandparents rights no matter who what or where you can take them to court and get some kind of vistion rights if you can prove your the grandparent of the child.\nSo just type in the serch  your state then law enforcement and see what they offer

i think that's something that is between them. if your father feels he should, then let him. If he's worried about not seeing the money, have him get something in writing so if he doesn't get paid back, he can take the grandfather to court.

You may have some luck contacting the state health agency where your grandparents died; since you're directly related, you have access to those records. Do a search on the vital records department of whatever state and you should be able to get contact information.\n\nUnless they died over 50 years ago, the records aren't in the public domain, so you won't have much luck on sites like genealogy.com or ancestry.com.

Social Security pays about $250 if the deceased's family qualifies. Other than that, you are on your own. Contact local Funeral Directors and ask them. Surely there are churches or charities that can contribute. What matters most is not that you die with dignity, but that you live with dignity.

First, ask your aunt if she has any idea of the company or even the person he spoke to about the life insurance policy. Also ask if she knows if he knew any insurance agents on a personal level. If you can't find it then start calling the Customer Service Departments of insurance companies in your state (if that's where he lived too). Tell them you are the Beneficiary on the policy and the Policy Owner is your father and now deceased.\nGood luck!

I agree with Madison. They make money based on your demise, ie the house is theres when you pass away. And if they can give you nothing in writing it sounds suspicious. \nA few ideas if money is tight\nWhy not move somewhere smaller?\nWhy not rent a room out (can earn over £4000 per year tax fee), thak your time and I am sure a nice suitable person might be out there.\nHope that helps and good luck

Presumably the death has been registered and the funeral is over and it is simply a matter of sorting out the estate.\n\n1.Make sure you get plenty of copies of  the death certificate - 15 is a good working number.  You will have to show copies to banks, building societies, companies with which the deceased held shares...it goes on and on.  Many organisations will need sight of an original Death Certificate before releasing funds. Copies obtained from the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages are regarded as 'originals' as opposed to a photocopy of the certificate.  \n  \n2.. Apply for a Grant of Probate via the nearest Probate Registry.  You may well have done this already. \n\n3.  Arrange to open a  Personal Representative's bank account. This will be used for paying in money due to the estate and any loan arranged to pay an Inheritance Tax bill and/or probate fees.  Eventually it will be used for paying out bequests under the will.  Warning: after twelve months the bank will start charging monthly fees.\n\n4. Inform all relevant persons and organisations - banks, building societies, life assurance companies, employers, local authorities, Inland Revenue, benefit agencies etc. \n\n5. Arrange for a valuation of the Estate. This will include the house (if owned or partly owned by the deceased) together with its contents, other personal effects, investments in savings plans, stocks and shares, life policies, building societies etc. Draw up a detailed  list of all the Testator's assets. \n\n6. Draw up a list of debts that must be paid from the proceeds of the Estate. These will include mortgages, any income and capital gains taxes, bills, credit cards, loans and overdrafts. \n\n7. Complete the forms required by the Inland Revenue Capital Taxes Office so that it can be established whether any Inheritance Tax is due.\n\n8. Complete the probate forms and send or take them to the Probate Office along with the original Will, the death certificate and the Inland Revenue account.\n\n9. Provided that the case is fairly straightforward, an appointment will be made for the personal representative to 'swear the papers' within about 5 - 6 weeks of receipt at the Probate Office \n\n10. When Inheritance Tax is due the Executor's account of the Estate is passed to the Inland Revenue and the Grant of Probate cannot be issued until the tax is paid. There will be circumstances where part of the Estate has to be sold to pay Inheritance Tax and if this is the case banks can arrange loan facilities to pay the tax straight away. \n\n11. Copies of the Grant of Probate should be sent to everyone who owes money to the Estate. You now as Executor have a legal authority to pursue any debts owing to the Estate. \n\n12. When the Grant of Probate is received, the Estate can be divided according to the terms of the Will. The Executor must prepare and sign accounts showing who has received what from the distribution. They must be able to show that they acted in accordance with the terms of the  Will in case there is any dissent from the family of the deceased. \n\n13. All papers, including the Grant of Probate and the accounts must be stored safely for a period of 12 years.\n\n\nAs you can see, it all takes quite a long time and it would be most imprudent to tell beneficiaries about their expectations under the will before you have sorted out debts owed by the estate, especially taxes. Once this has been done, then you can begin to pay out the specific legacies, but the residuary legatee (the one who stands to inherit what is left in the estate when all debts have been paid) won't know until you have drawn up the final accounts what he or she is getting.\n\nThere are some simple guides on being an executor obtainable and it would be a good idea to get one.
