What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Hello, my father passed away in October 2011 and I haven't dealt with any of his legal matters yet because I was told that I would have to goto probate court which costs a few thousand dollars and I currently work in retail at under $10 an hour so it's hard enough being able to survive on my own right now.
In the passing of my father in 2011 he left behind a Will in which I inherited our house, two lots, and his portion of a 3rd piece of commercial property which the commercial property is divided between him and also his brothers and sisters, who I do not have contact with and haven't spoken with in 15 years(not a close family). Before his passing we were struggling with keeping up on the property taxes as well due to my mothers passing in 2009. I am trying to keep them up as best as I can, but I am currently about 3 years or so behind on all of the properties since we were struggling before his passing. I am attempting to get them rented out so that I will have enough income to catch up with taxes. The properties are all still in his name too, which I don't know if this will cause problems or not?
Do you know if there is anything I can do to prevent losing the properties(which I believe have liens on at least two of them now) since his passing and also do you have any suggestions on how I can overcome the cost of the probate court? Thank you for taking the time to help.
