430 Questions Answered
- Q. If there is unclaimed death benefits from my grandparents who died 28 years ago is it hard to claim
- A: Your question is not specific enough to answer. What are “death benefits?” Is this life insurance, real estate, etc.? As a general proposition, a portion of estate assets would ordinarily go from one grandparent to the other and a portion would have gone to your dad, unless your grandparents died at the same time. In that event they would have all gone to your dad. Upon the second grandparent to die, all the assets would have gone to your dad. Upon your dad’s passing, everything would have gone to you. For you to now assert a claim, you would have to open estates for each grandparent plus your dad. This gets fairly expensive, so you would have to decide if the value of the claim is worth it. To give you more specific information from here, a lawyer would have to know more about the assets being claimed and where they are located.
- Q. The will states "half to be distrib to those as if she was intestate and unmarried". Had no kids. What does this mean ?
- A: A lawyer would need to review the Will in its entirety. On the basis of what you have quoted, the Will might be referring to distribution of half of his estate in accordance with the Pennsylvania intestacy laws, i.e., to her family, or the equivalent of half of what was her estate in accordance with the Pennsylvania intestacy laws. I think it would likely be the former, but you would need to examine the Will to see the language for the definition of the other half.
