Re: absence of a living will

If Your father died and he did not have a will than the estate property would pass to the beneficiaries according to be laws regarding people who died without a will. This usually means the lineal (children )would share the estate property equally unless there is a surviving spouse. In addition, any property held as joint tenants with a right of survivorship, IRA, pension plans, life insurance,etc. has to be looked at to determine who the beneficiaries are. I would suggest that you sent me an e-mail with a phone number that I can reach you and a the time of day I should call you to discusses in for the detail. If you need help I look forward to speaking with you.

Re: absence of a living will

A living will is used to direct whether or not a person will be on life support. I think your referring to a will. If there is no will then the intestacy laws will apply. The intestacy laws very from state to state, therefore you should consult with a probate attorney in the state in which your father resided.
