Re: Death of a parent
There are many factors involved in this question depending on the specific facts. Is the child the beneficiary of the life inusrance policy? Is there another surviving parent? The child may be entitled to public benefits; the child may have support rights under the Colorado Probate Code. Call me or e-mail me and we can talk more specifically.
