What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? ILLINOIS Hi, I need your advice. My wife started her job recently - I think the way she is treated by her employer is not fair. - She got a piece of paper saying that for 5-day work week she would get $500, for 6 days $600 and for...

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? IL Hello, A month ago I moved into a condo, it is being remodelled now, and less than 75% of apartment is sold, so there is no HOA (correct me if i am wrong). What is the status of the building - I mean who makes decisions -...

Trying to summarize: I definitely need to start a probate. Dandy Don suggested that I may have problems getting an attorney because the estate value is small (around $35k). How can I start probate if I can't get an attorney. I asked this question several times but I did not get an answer so...

Dandy Don & SeniorJudge: There is no spouse, only 2nd ex-wife living with her son. When my father died he was divorced. As far as I found, I and and my step-brother are entitled to his estate. So again the questions are like in post #11 BIG Thanks for your time!

That would be great. (below is the info regarding the value of estate) I tried to find laws for Minessota, and as far as I can remember if the value of the estate was greater than $18k it has to go through probate. Is that correct? If I do not have to probate what should I do? There is...

It is one big unknown thing for me, and I need help here please. So far the only thing I know is that if I want to get this done I need to file in a probate court. And I probably need a lawyer. If you could, please tell me what are the costs associated with probate. And if they are paid by me...

But I would like to know something before I file... I would like to know if I can afford this, and how I can cope with all things to be done. I know I can be executor, but as I mentioned I don't have money to spend, much time to devote. And I am simply afraid. Is there any...

If I file - a PR has to be appointed, I know I can't be a PR - I am out of state, I am full time student so I don't have time, and I am not well oriented in all matters concerning probate. - Who can be a PR? - What are costs of probate? - If I decide to take a lawyer (I still don't know if this...

No I don't. Yet. 2nd son lives with her so I thaught they will start probate. As far as I know she loves money, and the only way she could get the account is through probate, because I closed the account and informed the bank of my father death. So what I am supposed to do? Can you answer my...

I believe he is not. Otherwise his family wouldn't contact me. They want him cremated and his ashes sent to Europe, and the other son (and ex-wife) probably want to bury him as fast as possible, and take his assets. (at least that is what father's family suggested). I need to know if I can...
