Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kentucky
No will
My father passed in 1995 in Michigan, although his property, belongings, etc. were in Kentucky...He left no will.
My sister and I got nothing, but thought our mother would give us our rightful belongings when she passed. That is what she told us.
Now our mother has made out her own will leaving us totally out of her will. She is dying of cancer and has less than a month to live.
Do we in any way still benefit from our father not having a will at the time. Are we still entitled to 1/2 of his estate? Thank you

Re: No will
Hello,
This is an interesting question. How long had your father lived in Michigan before he passed away? How did he acquire the property in Kentucky? i.e. Did he inherit it or buy it? Did he buy it while he was married to your mother? These are a few of the things that have to be determined before any one can givce you a realistic answer.
