A service like this could be less expensive than a large company with trucks and employees. Also using a guy like this gives you eyes on your property in a way that a street sweeper may not
Very helpful. My sisters and I have been paying my dad's mortgage and utilities out of our own pockets as we waited for probate to wrap up. We can expect to get paid back in the expenses line or debts line?

You are presuming multiple heirs. Which of course is problematic. My will I deal with is not an excellent will, but along with stating to sell at “fair” value, it states any of us heirs may buy it. And the executor’s decision is final. But yes, with multiples esp. when one is a very difficult person, it is not as easy as just saying yes I’ll get it for what I wish.
The Executor might not tell you anything you want to know. They have a fiduciary duty to keep the beneficiaries informed and updated. Although some don’t do what the principal trusted them to do, they get greedy and ignore their responsibility leaving you no choice to hire legal counsel. And if you can’t afford to hire an attorney then it’s pretty much game over.
What folks need to understand is that many today are absolutely fed up with the extremely dysfunctional/antiquated "authoritarian" parenting style, and are simply not going to tolerate being treated that way any longer. This is the "because I told you so" parent who is likely to degrade a child (even as adults) and ignore their point of view. - Children are punished if rules are not followed. Punishment is usually harsh and punitive. It can become abusive, physically and emotionally. - Orders that are to be followed, often without explanation. “Because I said so!” - Parents that feel that obedience (w zero criticism allowed whatsoever) equates to love. - There is typically no give and take, and will exert complete and total control over the family. The topic of emotional abuse/neglect has been heavily trending for awhile now, and people are being told by all kinds of psych and mental health people to go 100% "no contact" with individuals that refuse to address and change such behaviors. So, if you are an older person that feels that you have been "abandoned" by your adult children for no apparent reason... I'd suggest that you take a long, hard look in the mirror and think about if this is how you've been with them?
I am very much IN DIAR NEED OF the Assistance & Help, of a COMPETENT GOOD HONEST REPUTABLE ATTORNEY. I’m beneficiary of my father’s estate in New York that was closed almost a year ago. I was not sure about, or confident regarding what I was signing to receive my portion from my fathers house sale. I was duped throughout the entire process from day one and the Estate Attorney never once acknowledged any concern addressed. I feel I should have some rights to get this fixed and receive what my father wanted me to. It was just a disaster. Do you have any advice or direction for me? Is there a statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit as a beneficiary who has realized been BEYOND duped?
The law is Twisted. People think a Will and A Trust take care of everything legally. Basically as soon as the Funeral Services is done . Contact probate court.. A Will expires , attorneys need to inform this to clients. Instead they walk out the law firm thinking. They handle everything
I am a caregiver...but regardless of advertising, word of mouth, recommendations; I find family members are not quite willing to have a caregiver in the home keeping their loved one out of the nursing homes. Quite sad. There are a few of us who are willing, able,and see it as our purpose in life to care for others. Feel free to contact if you also agree.
Realize Ukraine will get another 60 BILLION dollars as soon as the house returns from Easter break!!!! Every American should be calling Congress today 202 225 3121 leave a message, since they are not there. SPEND OUR MONEY HERE!! CLOSE THE BORDER!! STOP AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY ! AMEN
Depends on the state I’m sure, but if the fence has been in place for so many years without dispute the property has been claimed and no longer a easement I think. Sure it will have to go through a court. If it’s been fenced in, gonna be a tough one
@MountShastaP-D I heard from someone that a recorded easement is basically always in effect despite fences. Wish a real estate law professional would chime in. This is for state of NM.
You guys never went over the steps to even set up a court date and stuff. I’m still wondering if i need to hire an attorney or if i can do this all alone
My dad and my uncle own 60 acres of land as tenants in common. Dad passed away intestate. This left me and mom owning 50 percent of the property. She wants me to sell, how? My uncle doesn’t want nothing to do with this. How can a judge force this property to sell? Thanks.
However…an intentionally disinherited child is notified of the passing of a parent via the probate process, aren’t they therefore entitled to see the will with their own eyes? And then they’ll see the named trust and will have everything they need to have a lawyer attack on their behalf. Doesn’t the Will identify the existence of the Trust?
I think Facebook is the social media most seniors recognize and many are able to use. I'd be interested in knowing what happens if she gets ill. Whom does she rely on to help her?
Hey Anthony! Love these videos and glad I found your thoughtful conversations with Janice. I’ve been in banking for 10 years and have seen how difficult beneficiary services can be. Any chance we could talk through an idea I have for crypto to make it easier?

This sounds good, but I have a question. My mother has decided to leave me money in a trust fund with my brother as trustee. But, I believe my brother will not be a good trustee. How hard is it to get another trustee appointed?
