Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Son died left no will
My son died accidentally 3/11/01, in CA. - I
(mother) live in WA. My son did not have an estate
(guessing net worth under $8,000 plus ins.), but
his dad, also in CA is making all decisions - as
self appointed executor.
I would like to be joint -executor with him in
whatever decisions need to be made. My son did
not name beneficiary, and ex husband (I was
married to 20 years) and his new wife seem to be
deciding everything without informing me.

Re: Son died left no will
You have a problem. You could apply to be the executor but that would involve opening a probate and it appears your son does not have a large enough estate to make that worth while. If you did you would have all powers to make necessary decisions. I'm unsure as to how your ex-spouse is making decisions that you object to. Most institutions would not take action if one parent objects to such action.
