Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona

Estate

My biological father died a year and half ago. He never married and of course never recognized me as his daughter. Can I sue his estate for back support or as the only living child of the man? He lived in AZ and I live in Ohio.

More facts need to be known about your case to give a complete response. You might be entitled to certain allowances as a surviving child. Did your father have a will? That would be important to know. What does the will provide? Was paternity established?

See an estate attorney for legal help. We offer free, no obligation consultations, which can be by telephone, at 480.835.1500.
