Re: My father just passed
I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
As a distributee of your dad's estate you are entitled to file for Letters of Administration if dad didn't have a Last Will and Testament, unless your brother or sister already did that. You need to take action asap to protect your rights regarding dad's estate; now is the time to assert your rights, or you will lose them forever. My office is at Penn Station; email me to make an appointment and then take the train here right away.
Good luck.
