- Q. Does the sudden and unexpected discovery of a full sibling impact any previously disbursed inheritances?
- A: So there are a lot of factors here to consider, and this is not legal advice specific to your situation. You would have to retain an attorney to get that. Generally speaking, when someone is adopted they no longer stand to inherit anything from their biological parents.
- Q. Can we (all parties agree) dissolve a revocable trust in Ohio after the deaths of our parents?
- A: Not to give you the typical attorney answer, but it depends. While there are quite often ways to accomplish what you ask, nobody can say with certainty one way or another until he or she sits down and performs a more detailed analysis of the Trust as well as the surrounding facts and circumstances. I recommend finding a qualified attorney who can look over things for you and advise you.
Best of luck,
- Q. Should all siblings STILL split the money from parents house that died if one sibling bought it???
- A: Probate can be a messy and complex process. There are no simple answers to your question. A more detailed look at the specific circumstances would be needed to determine if the estate has been or is being administered properly. You may want to find a probate attorney who practices in the County where the Case is open to discuss.
Best of luck.
