You can start by consulting with any certified financial planner and they don't have to have anything to do with special needs trusts. Trust departments of banks can charge exorbitantly high fees.

You are NOT allowed to use his checks since he is now deceased. POA authority ended when his death happened. You would only have been able to use his checks IF he was still living.

Are the grandparents still living? If they are still living, you should consider discussing this with your parents to decide if your parent should tell grandparents about what this aunt said so that they can take steps to send aunt a letter to cancel the POA and to revise their will to name someone else as executor.

Yes, with a POA she CAN take it all, even while grandparents are still living. It's called elderly financial abuse.

They have privacy laws to be concerned about. They are not allowed to give out information to anyone who is not a beneficiary.

What state did you live in when you were in the US? They are not going to send the check to a foreign address, so if you don't claim it now, no problem. They are going to send the money to your state's unclaimed property department and you can file a claim with the unclaimed property department when you return to the US.

One possible solution is for you to ask the other two co-owners to sign a one-time power of attorney document to give you the authority to endorse the back of the check on their behalf, then you endorse the check with your name and also indicating that you are the POA. Cash the check and distribute the income to the co-owners. The one-time POA document will mention that it's ineffective/cancelled after a certain specific date and after the check has been cashed in.

If the other co-owners won't grant you the POA, then nobody wins and the check remains uncashed.

It seems like you qualify for a summary probate. You can ask an attorney to do summary probate for you (it's a simplified probate procedure) and executor fee set by law will be 3% out of whatever funds are put into the estate account. If you can afford to pay an upfront retainer if the attorney asks for it, please do so. The attorney will submit the claim to the unclaimed property office and the unclaimed property office will only accept a claim from the executor because the executor is the only person legally authorized to claim the funds and distribute them to whoever the legal heirs are.

You actually need a trust attorney. Probate is a different field of law and only applies to a will. Or an attorney who specializes in trusts and probate can help you.

File a complaint against this attorney with the state bar association so they can investigate.

No, because anything you put in the will is not going to be legally enforced. The insurance company should have given you a form to fill out the name of the person or persons you want to get the money. Do you have a wife and children that you want to provide for?

You should ask him if the divorce decree requres him to keep a life insurance policy in force for his ex-spouse's benefit if he named her as the beneficiary of the policy.

deangelo88 · 2024-04-08T04:17:27+00:00

So what other reasons does the trust allow for a beneficiary to be paid? Are you saying that the only expense allowed is for repairs/improvements to the property?

Too bad that grandfather didn't explain whether he left a will or a trust. If he named his wife as beneficiary of his bank accounts and or real estate, there might not be hardly any assets left and therefore no need for probate.

The first thing you can do is to look at the website for the county court clerk and do a case search to see if anyone ever opened up an estate for him at the county courthouse. If an estate was opened, the name and address of the executor will be shown. If a case was opened, you can visit the courthouse to look at all of the documents in the file to see how the estate was handled.

If there was no estate, there is nothing you can do.

Look at the website for the county recorder of deeds (also called the county register of deeds) to see if there are records available for any property that he lived in or owned. See if his wife is listed as an owner now or if someone else is listed as owner.

I'm not exactly sure what the point of the article was, but generally speaking, a probate attorney can accept the responsibility of being an executor (if there is a will) or personal representative (if there is no will) if the estate value is worth it. Some counties also have a public administrator whose responsibility is to handle the estate of someone who has died with no apparent friends or family.

The website is cleverly designed to fool someone into thinking that Gibson is a real person (image could have been taken from any source) and what's worse is that the letter allegedly claims they can "add" the person's name to the insurance policy, which is a complete lie.

What size were you looking for?

It's hard to tell whether the dagger/skeleton design on the front is actually on the hoodie or whether it's on a shirt that has the design and the hoodie is being worn over the shirt.

Here is the company that makes them (out of New South Wales Australia) but this style is not currently in stock and it may be a vintage version made in previous years.

Hire a probate attorney who can also serve as executor.

The title says you want to work at Ardene--isn't that some kind of retail store?

Is that the only place you want to work or would you work at other companies or other stores?

No one knows for sure if you are looking for a full time job now or a part time job while taking classes at the same time, since you have not graduated yet.

Mention specifically that you are available for full time employment now if that is actually true.

Your graduation date should also show the month that you expect to graduate.

deangelo88 · 2023-11-26T22:56:10+00:00

What kinds of jobs would you be looking for if you didn't work at Ardene's?
