Everyone should have a will, get a lawyer to draw it up, or have her write one and then get it notarized, and witnessed, and filed with the county in which she lives.  GET A WILL, they are inexpensive and so worth the headache that follow without one.  \n\nIf you think people and relatives are loving, just wait til she dies, it doesn't matter what she has, they will fight like female dogs...do the death.

If your grandfather was remarried when he died, then his land and things belong to his new wife, that is if he didn't have a will.  She can decide what she wants to do with his stuff.  Why was it never attempted to try and discover if your mother was actually his daughter??  Sounds like they waited a little to late.

If there  is no will....then no, your mother is not entitled to anything, unfortunately. \n\nWhen someone dies intestate, the estate is left to the next of kin. While it may hurt your mother, she should remember that she got the real blessing, a good friend for 12 years and the satisfaction of knowing she did the right thing and truly helped someone. Money would be nice, but I am sure that is not why your mother did what she did.\n\nPlease tell your mother she is a wonderful soul for me.

Well you could write them a letter about how you feel and leave it at that! And then go on with your plans together. They will either learn to live with their son's decision or they won't.\n\nThe parents aren't the ones in this relationship and if you both love each other, do what you need to do to be together. DON'T NOT be  together because of them. they are not in this relationship you both are, and you two should be happy. They'll get over it, it may take years, but at least you won't have to worry about your mother-in-law butting into your business, right off the bat.

You need to speak to an attorney about your rights and obligations.  Also, why not speak with her financial advisor to find out what, if any, plans are in place concerning your mother's death.

She's not your mother.  Let your husband do it.  It's his mother, he needs to do it himself.

Yes.  Speak to a family law attorney.

Go see a lawyer IN THE SAME STATE AS YOUR FATHER and explain this situation.  Then hang around your father like a tick on a cold day until he signs a will.\n\nThis is the only good way to protect your mother from poverty or delayed property transfers while she is grieving.  All this should be settled now, in advance, based on the blessing of your father knowing he's going to die as well as about WHEN that's going to happen.\n\nYour mother's grief will be ENORMOUSLY AGGRAVATED if her husband dies without a will ("intestate" is the word for that).

there sadly are no laws.\nyou can however raise that child (adopt he or she) and give the child a life their mother wont be able to give. and i'm sure you don't want your grandchild seeing all their mother does and turn into their mother.\n\nsadly that's the only "fix" in this, just have your son's partner talk with you about it see if she likes the idea, or if she doesn't and you have proof she's a danger to the child as well, call children's services and mention if possible since the child is your departed son's that you'd like to raise the child.\n\nalthough, she'll get what's coming to her when Christ returns to the earth, so justice will be made, I'm sorry for your loss, do not hate her, it's a sin, forgive and forget her, hold onto your son's memory and know one day all who do wrong against you will get there's in the end

Not being an attorney, I would believe it goes something like this:\n\nIf you mother dies, you believe she has a will but have not seen it. SHe would have a copy, likely in her papers or safe deposit box. If you have no access, you contact an attorney to help. They will get a judge to declare an executor and the heirs because there is no known will. There may be taxes and fees involved. If no will is found, there is no will. \n\nIt seems that you believe that the lawyer has the only legal copy...they do not. They have a security copy to prove you mother's is not corrupted. It is your mother responsibility to appoint an executor to execute the will in her name. The executor shoudl know this before hand...and perhaps the location of the will, but not the contents of the will. \n\nThe attorney or judge could pulish in a law journal for known wills of people too.

If the support is not court ordered and the mother is not requesting support then legally he doesn't have to  pay anything. Morally however, and assuming he's a responsible father and parent, then he should be making it his business and priority to ensure that his child or children are provided for to the best of his financial ability.

you are there only to execute the wishes of your mother.  that's it.  you are entitled to a fee for your services.  beyond that, you have NO control.\n\nsure, your brother has the right to receive whatever has been laid out for him.  as for the papers, if he challenges you and lawyers get involved, you for sure will be showing him the papers.

Anytime you have something of value, or CHILDREN....it is so important if you have children.....My sons dad passed away January of last year, age 47 and he had no will......His family took him to court after 19 years of "loving him" coming to Birthday Partys, etc for 19 years, and wanted proof that he was his fathers son - we won in court - but cover yourself - ok - for children involved.

you have to prove that she is an unstable mother. but even if you dont get custody you still have the right to visit your son as much as you want to, no matter how far he is from you. And if she doesnt let you visit your son then report the bitch, if your son is old enough to make his decision then go back to court and the judge can hear both the woman side your side and your son decision  But Good luck to you and your son!!!!!!!!!!!!!
