Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
my rights as a child of deceased
my mother died in a car accident.
she had a life insurance policy for a lot off money, there is no benificary on the policy, but i was the the only one who knew about it, and my mom told me it was for me.
she did not have a will, but my father is still alive.
do i have a legal right to claim the $, since i was the one paying the bill for the insurance, and it was a credit card co. were my mom and i were joint on the account. she removed my father from the account,two years ago.
also the home is at stake, what rights do i have, if any to try to get control of the estate. my parents were on my taxes as dependents for the past 3 years. i also paid for all of my mothers medical bills, and her home improvements when needed.

Re: my rights as a child of deceased
Your question does not give enough facts. Are your parents still married or are they divorced? This makes a difference. Also , do you have any siblings? You may have a claim against the estate for reimbusement of expenses at the very least.
