Minnesota Probate Rights Explained

Summary

In Minnesota, without a will, intestate succession laws determine asset distribution. As a child, you have a right to a share of your fathers estate. If youre uncomfortable with informal probate, you can request a formal one, which involves court supervision. The P800 form suggests your sister may be preparing for formal probate, offering more protection for your rights. A personal representative could be appointed to manage the estate. If you have lived with your father for over 10 years, you may have additional rights or claims. Consider consulting a local attorney to understand your rights and navigate the probate process effectively.

I live in Minnesota. My dad passed away on */*. He didn't have a will and I have * siblings, me being youngest. My siblings initially told me I had *-3 months left in the house and I need to get my crap together and I destroyed the house, basically belittling me right after I watched our dad pass away. They all want an informal probate but they have kept things from me and I do not feel comfortable doing so and also, I don't have money or credit to get a place in *-3 months, as they said they would. My neighbors know my dad better than my older siblings as well as me and we know this is not what he would want but I just need to know my rights

In Minnesota, if your sister is petitioning for formal probate, it means she's seeking court supervision in distributing your father's estate. It’s not inherently threatening, but it does involve more legal oversight. A personal representative (PR) could be appointed by the court to manage the estate. Would you like to learn more about how a personal representative is appointed or their responsibilities?
Well they are only doing that becuz I refused to sign her as the PA out of all * of us so they are mad
