– Attorney Shaffer continues to explain how the Probate Court System requires that all legal heirs and interested parties associated with the Decedent be notified in writing that a probate case/administration has been opened to settle the assets, debts, and affairs of the loved one that has passed away. Notice requirements are a very important task and function with any probate case and sometimes can take a lot of time and cause some delays in the probate proceeding. This allows interested parties to make any claims or objections regarding matters with the Decedent’s estate. For example, if Decedent’s Uncle loaned him money then Uncle upon notice of the probate case can file a claim for the money owed to him in the probate case with the court.

When a loved one passes away, it can be a difficult and emotional time for everyone involved. In addition to dealing with the grief and loss, there are also legal matters to consider. One of these legal matters involves notifying the legal heirs of the deceased.
Under the law, notice is required to be given to the legal heirs of a person that has passed away. This notice is typically given by the executor of the deceased person’s estate, or by the court if there is no executor appointed.
The purpose of this notice is to inform the legal heirs that they have a right to inherit from the estate of the deceased person. The notice must include certain information, such as the name and address of the executor or administrator of the estate, the date of death of the deceased person, and a statement of the legal heirs’ right to inherit.
The legal heirs who are entitled to receive notice are typically determined by state law. In most cases, this will include the deceased person’s spouse, children, and any surviving parents or siblings. However, the specific rules and requirements can vary from state to state.
It is important to note that the notice requirement is not optional. Failure to give proper notice can result in legal consequences for the executor or administrator of the estate. This may include being held personally liable for any damages or losses suffered by the legal heirs as a result of not receiving notice.
In addition to the legal requirement to give notice, it is also a good idea to inform all family members and loved ones of the death of a loved one. While not required by law, this can help ensure that everyone is aware of the situation and can begin to make arrangements to pay their respects and to provide support to each other during this difficult time.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with the legal aspects can make things even more difficult. However, by understanding the legal requirements for giving notice to the legal heirs of a deceased person, you can help ensure that everyone’s rights are protected and that the process of grieving and healing can begin.

State of Florida
My dad and stepmom had wills and this had been discussed with us and we were told what was in them and how things were to be divided.
My dad passed away September 2021 but my stepmom never probated his will and then suddenly in May 2022 (7 1/2 months later) my stepmom mom passed. On the day she passed one of my stepsisters took all legal documents along with other items. She has refused to share any information and has destroyed the wills. We have tried to find them through attorneys with no success.
What do we need to do?!?!
What are our rights (children and stepchildren)?!?
Thank you for making this video your good at what you do 🙂 what would anybody suggest to do when you have a father who is getting older as in his 70's and his current wife is 25 years younger than him and he has two children with his current wife, but in his current house and at his property is 85 per cent of stuff that belonged to my mother who was cherished but sad to say passed away of cancer a while ago, but who had cherished and owned her 'belonging's' and truthfully my mother had said to myself that she wanted her daughter's to have certain items – just as any mother would want her daughter's to be taken care of, yet everything is at my father's and his current wife's my 'step mother's, I wish people could understand how hurtful some situations can be. Why can't people be fair ? especially when certain people before my mother passed knew what she wanted

What if someone doesn't want anyone to get anything when they die? Do you have to write a will excluding everyone and everything?

Unfortunately my dad had dementia so his wife decided to obliterate our life insurance as she got control as executor. I would highly advise anyone who is in this situation, to make sure that person can't touch what was intended for you.
What happens when your mothers mother passes away but your mother has also passed away years before and you receive a notice from Land Court and your name is listed as an Heir. Does that mean we are entitled to our mother's share of the estate (house)

Should a grandson pass away, do his maternal grandparends who grew him up since he was an infant until he passed at 28 years old. be considered his next of kin or his heirs of what ever he left behind.

What if the heirs do not want to sign anything or participate?
I am trying to find the heirs of a man that died and let land go into tax default. The land Wes snapped up by an investor. I would pay the redemption price and offer the heirs a good price for the land. How do I contact the heirs? I know the name of the old man that died. I have an idea of the name of a couple of the heirs. Would they be insulted if I made them such an offer?
My estate was stolen I have proof I need help the thieves have tried to murder me many times
Thanks
NOPE, LADY! YOU ARE WRONG ACCORDING TO MY FATHER'S FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATO. SHE TELLS ME ALL THE TIME THAT SHE WORKS ONLY FOR MY FATHER'S ESTATE AND HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY TO THE ACTUAL HEIRS.
THE MASSACHUSETTS PROBATE SYSTEM IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND. NO ONE WILL TALK TO THE NEIRS AT ALL, NO MATTER WHAT. NOT THE FUNERAL HOME WHO CREMATED MY FATHER (ARTWRIGHT FUNERAL, RANDOLPH, MASS). NOT THE BANK PRESIDENT, NOT THE COURT APPOINTED FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATOR, EVERYTHING IS SECRET!
My great grandma was. Ford how do I find out if we are related to the Ford Corporation
Well my dad just passed away he didn't leave a will am the only child but a women that leaved with him is presenting a false marriage certificate to claim all his properties. Should I do a small estate affidavit because she took all the money left in the bank and she doesn't let me go inside the house to get any belongings. Her name is not in the title of the house just on the warranty deed. What exactly can I do. I don't even know what to do anymore.
If I have a mortgage loan and didn't accept the insurance for the loan to be payed off. And I pass away. Can my children keep paying the loan and stay with the house? Or does the bank take it away from them if they are willing to keep paying the loan? Please answer my question or anyone that might know my question.
Is there a statue of limitation after a parent dies especially now with all courts closed due to the pandemic?
Does the children receive knowledge of the estate amount?
She never answers .. why ?
My other half died and left us my daughter and me half of his home and car. Other half to his sister . He never thought she wouldn't do as he said. He gave her a so huge gift and us ,but she chose to keep both gift for herself because in his will he didn't have two witnesses that had signed at the same time. He thought his words mattered ,his money ,his wish who gets his life things and also everything inside his house was supposed to be shared. We was his family all my daughters life and half of mine . He was our life and we his. There's no doubt he wanted us to be safe after he died. She wouldn't ever have dared to say to him what she did .
She only saw him on birthdays and a day here and there if we went to something, we were in his life ,even tho we lived apart. She pretended everything was fine and suddenly gave me through a layer, not in person the message that because of the will not being in order, she keeps everything. She won't even ask my daughter if she wanted anything after him.He was her dad ,even tho he wasn't for real. My daughter is so upset because she wanted his jacket ,caps and empty wallet . She turned in to a greedy ….If he knew he would have never wanted to see her ,never left her anything. Is the law really going to protect her ? She can go buy more wine and vacations now. We hardly get by.If he knew …
We doesn't live in America ,but is there any judges who judge what they think is right, or do they have to follow the law ,even when it's the thief they protect?
Feels hopeless, I can't get a lawyer without taking a loan and probably won't have a chance to take a loan again, if I do. I have to think of my autistic daughters future ,so I fear taking a loan if we have no chance…
How can anyone be so rude, like his sister and disrespectful? It's so painful everything and now this .Feel like …never mind .
What if they left money to the Grandchildren only and bypassed the Children?
Can grand kids get my dads assets. Just because the kids said that dad gave it to them. Or do he’s kids get the estate!!!!!!??????? He has no will
Brother and sister are on title with 50/50 interest. Brother dies. His children does not want to inherit and have signed elective share waivers and the court is now treating the children like they pre deceased their father. So now it rolls to grandchildren, who oddly enough, are not interested in this inheritance. We have requested that the attorney rescind the waivers so that they can now inherit since the grandchildren don’t want to and are now being told that they cannot do that. They attorney has offered no alternative solutions and the house has been pending sale for over 8 months pending the distribution of the home. We are in Florida and was just wondering if your could cover a topic like this on your show and possible shed some light on how to proceed. Thank you
How do I find the administrator? My fathers assist I believe has went to probate and the legal system has lied but now I'm uncovering allot of mismanaged accounts. So how might take steps to look into this. And why did they hire 3ed party people to distore our family?
A friend who lives in Louisiana wants to leave a will stating that the inheritors can't see his land and if they do charges will be brought on them. Is any of this valid?
our sister is ripping us off. since mum died my accounts are frozen and Fiona M Tuckwood elder sister and executor wont tell me the name of my solicitor and blocks all our phone calls
Who should I contact to figure out of I was supposed to inherit something? I think my parents might have pulled something to steal it from me
What if you have been replaced or say, given other inheritances then discriminated, harassed, and emotionally neglected for it. Or placed to live under uncomfortable or abusive or sabotaging circumstances over heir biased tax laws?
Have there been cases of twins harassing other twins whom were not heirs or of another religion or their faith , being taken as stupidity, mental retardation, and as insanity, when it wasn't so possible fraud was going on ? How come there are no legal protections for the "Unfavoreds"?
Are there any "Unfavoreds" who start businesses but have them mishandled, but have them replaced by perjurying siblings and their publishing deals and copyrightsand take accreditation and accolades for their work or frame them for their crimes and refuse accountability?
What if your circumstances are that no one can hire you over being an "Unheir" or "Unfavoreds", (thanks to Kimberly Johnson, Miranda Marcebello, Walt Disney, and the Backstreet Boys, etc. For keeping the abusive law changes, and for garnishing all our wages & lifetime earnings, 70% to 100%, for these insane U.N. taxes under The Brussels and many other agreements, and illegally buying out land with money your giving Bill Gates in Westerville, OH , Amazon.com in Pataskla, OH, and Supplyhouse.com in.Columbus,OH. And many more between Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, you stealing lawmakers. )
So we will make are own laws since current U.S. and Ohio laws are insufficient and ilogical, and abusive, it is basically community slow killing genocide based off the nazi EMF programs.
Which is disgusting, making them homeless, neglected, hated, jaded, bitter, leading to crimes , attacks on places of worship ( by not allowing socialization, help, atonement, repentance, forgiveness, and Participation, or any degree of deep discussion or education of any ill health individuals and groups. By illicit contracts, contests, phone photo pagents, videos, and votes. And the list goes on.
They denied us Nomcrat or basically the right to reject $1,000 dollars of our inheritances so we wouldn't be forced into endentured slavery or poverty for the people think they like. We were denied this initally jewish right and christian right, and it is wrong , the state can not just have 5 "favoreds"/heirs , when you find out you have 12 or do a will that mistreats and endangers and restricts the income of the "unfavoreds"/unheirs to the point of poverty to pay for the heirs.
I should have been the heir. Short and sweet, if I can't have the house, husband, children, and own/run my own business,I will keep fighting till those "Unfavoreds Rights", "UF Rights", " Unfavoreds Rights & Protections" , etc. Since my case and so many I thought cared or wanted Columbus , OH, out of the occult groups and organized crime, betrayed me for some gullible celebrities.
I had huge dreams, I love to make business plans and be as creative as Kim Johnson, talk to Walt Disney on Aubourn Ave. In Hilliard, OH. Nice to see all the houses and mansions and education you bought through larceny and fraud.
My mother passed away and her sister is Exeter of her will.can I request to see the will.
