Probate Estate Rights Guidance

Summary

When someone dies without a will, their estate is distributed according to intestate succession laws. In Georgia, spouses and children are typically prioritized. If you believe your rights to the estate were not properly addressed, you may need to contest the probate decision. Consider seeking advice from a probate attorney to understand your rights and potential claims. If you receive threatening messages or feel pressured to sign documents, its important to consult with a legal professional to protect your interests.

Before my dad died they got money from two houses my dad sold and they bought a house worth *,*. They mailed me a letter wanting me to sign incase they have to move someday was what i was told but the letter claimed my dad had no assets when he owned a third of the house. Im disabled with a disabled daughter the letter also wanted me to sign off saying im not disabled so i refused to sign it. Then i got threatening messages from my dads step son. I got a letter saying my step mom was going to ask for a year of spouse support but then the next thing i know i get a letter saying the probate has been closed. Am i supposed to get anything or what can i do
****, it sounds like a complex situation. Since your dad passed away without a will, his estate should go through intestate succession under New Jersey law. You might have rights to his assets. Here are some general points:
- Intestate succession determines asset distribution when there's no will.
- Spouses and children are typically prioritized.
- You may need to contest the probate decision or seek a probate attorney's advice.
