- Q. I would like to take adverse possession of an abandoned property. Where should I start as far as legal process goes?
- A: Since the previous owner is deceased, you will need to sue the estate of the decedent for adverse possession. Hence, the first step should be to petition the probate court to appoint an administrator of the decedent's estate. Once an administrator is appointed, you can then proceed with an adverse possession action.
- Q. Does a decedent's fiancée (not a registered domestic partner or married) have a chance at receiving any Estate?
- A: Any interested person can become the administrator of a probate estate if nobody objects. However, non-family members have no right to inherit probate property. Keep in mind that an affidavit to obtain probate property for an estate worth less than $184,500 does not involve the court and does not get reviewed by the court.
- Q. DISCLOSURE OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FIDUCIARY, ATTORNEYS, AND OTHER AGENTS HIRED BY FIDUCIARY
- A: This paragraph should be included in the Petition for Final Distribution. In the alternative, you should describe your relationship with those hired by you. For instance, if family members cleaned out and hauled debris from the probate property and you paid them, then this relationship should be disclosed.
