Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
Statute of limitations
Is there a statute of limitations when a spouse dies for how long you have to switch over any estate? Would the courts appoint a legal guardian for a minor of the deceased if he still has a living parent that is capable of being his guardian?

Re: Statute of limitations
As to question #2 probably not, unless there is a defect with the parent (ie- mental or physical disability or addiction), as to question #1, the assets of the deceased need to be probated unless they are of insignificant worth, but there is still procedure that must be followed. More infomation is available at www.AlleghenyAttorneys.com or by contacting my office at 412.731.0865
