Q. At what age am I obligated to stop support under a child support agreement for adult children in RI?

April 17, 2025

A: Child support that is ordered by the Rhode Island Family Court pursuant to the Rhode Island General Laws will continue until the child turns age 18 or upon completion high school if still enrolled when 18, but no later than turning age 19. If your support order is from another state or if you agreed in a contract to provide support of some kind above and beyond age 18, then you might have a continuing obligation. I suggest that you take a look at the documents that were the source of your child support obligation including any agreements you signed and any court orders entered. If this is a Rhode Island child support order then you will need to contact the Rhode Island Office of Child Support Services to request relief.

Q. Is the executive of an estate required to fix property issues under an informal lease?

March 18, 2025

A: It doesn't look good, sorry. While executor of the probate estate that holds the real estate does have an obligation to keep the premises up to minimum housing standards, and maybe these holes and plywood do or don't comply with the housing code, your big problem is that you have no written lease. The executor has the power to try to evict you by filing an action in District Court. Also, if you get the municipality's Housing Court involved then the municipality might deem the dwelling uninhabitable, and then you would have to move out. Perhaps most important, the property that you've been living in is going to change hands through probate. The subsequent owner might also want to evict you or overhaul the structure. ... Read More

Q. Brother passed, no life insurance beneficiary, lawyer insists on court. Why?

March 18, 2025

A: When a life insurance policy has no beneficiary designation the terms of the policy will often require that the proceeds of the life insurance go through probate court. In probate court it is required for the person appointed (the probate administrator) to notify heirs at law and any potential creditors including the State of Rhode Island, to pay debts and expenses of the estate including the lawyer, and to close the estate by giving the court an account of the money in, money out, amounts to be distributed to the heirs at law. Usually the heirs at law and any creditors sign releases so that the court knows that everyone is in agreement. Also the paid funeral bill must be filed with the court so that the court knows that the funeral home did not go unpaid. There are additional steps in a case where there is real estate. The estate must stay open for at least six months following the date of the first publication in the newspaper of your appointment as administrator so that any creditors can come forward, and after that the estate can close and the money can be distributed. Probably that is the reason for the delay. I suggest that you give your lawyer a call or send and email about this in order to have clear communication. ... Read More
