Re: Sister is tring to take it all.

Apply for executor then you would be in charge. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504. We'll file a motion to appoint you because of current mis-conduct of your sister.

Re: Sister is tring to take it all.

If your mother died with a will and her assets exceed $100,000 the estate will be probated. A petition for probate must be filed with the court.

If the estate is under $100,000 a more simple procedure is available.

This all gets a little complex depending on the assets in the estate and how they are titled. We can help you through this process. Please give us a call at 714-708-2593 if you would like further help.
