I have some questions. The deceased person has no will. If the surviving spouse who is legally married to the deceased person doesn’t speak English and sign the paper to appoint an executor already who is the step son. what happens if the stepson is not honest and does not follow through with paying off debts and distributing the remaining evenly or did not give anything to the surviving spouse…what can the surviving spouse do in this situation? Also, will later than the surviving spouse be responsible for all debts still owed by the deceased since he/she is legally married to the deceased person? Please advise

This was very helpful..I represented myself in a divorce years ago and I'd never recommend it..if I'm ever in a position where I am an executor of a Will/estate, it will help to save a lot of heartache and headaches if you have the proper help and a solid plan..

If it is after 2 years why do they not have to file probate?
@applepaynelaw
@applepaynelaw 11 ай бұрын
State Law allows the heirs to sell after 2 years - creditors could open up the estate if the family doesn't so by that time they've had their chance. They WOULD need to file the will (if there is one), because it shows who inherited the house, otherwise it passes according to intestate law. Great question!

If the decedent left a house but no will can the heirs sell it before filing probate in NC? Also if they sell it do they keep the money or do they place it in an estate account with the bank? Thanks.

@applepaynelaw 11 ай бұрын
If it is less than two years, then they would not be able to convey clear title without opening a probate and running notice to creditors. That doesn’t mean they could not do a cash sale however, it would still be subject to the claims of creditors, so that would be a pretty big risk for a buyer. Definitely something we can help with if you’re running into that.

We do for the most part - there's a couple of counties that have begun the e-Courts transition and we're considering those on a case by case basis because our home counties - Forsyth and Guilford - aren't slated to do the e-Courts stuff until 2024 now.

@applepaynelaw I'm actually a realtor and I recently stepped into the probate niche. I've spoken with people in various counties here in NC who needed a good probate attorney. Next time i speak with one I'll call your office to see if you cover their county and will refer them to you if so. Thanks for answering my questions!

How long CAN probate last in NC? Is there a time limit? How many years can someone disrupt the process?
@applepaynelaw
@applepaynelaw Жыл бұрын
Probate in NC *usually* takes 12-18 months, but I've had a couple take as long as 24. Unless somebody files a legal challenge to the probate though, it shouldn't go on longer than that. On rare occasions estates can be open longer, but that's usually because you either have an asset (i.e. land, payments etc.) that are taking a long time to come in or you are waiting on things like federal taxes to get situated so you can resolve those sorts of issues.

I've learned in court to never underestimate the ability of the court/opposing parties to drag things out. We focus generally on uncontested probate (although we do have handled the occasional contested matter), but litigation varies from county to county and even judge to judge , so there's no way to really give a good answer. Too dang long though!
