What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Father passed away in December 06, Probate opened in March 07. I am NOT the executor.
Probate finally closed in June 09. As part of the will, I get the house that Dad owned, and I have been living in the house since before he passed, as I was his caretaker.
Items in home were stated in will to go to other members of family. How long do I have to store this stuff before I can get rid of it?? There's a lot of miscellaneous stuff (crap, to be honest) that belongs to others in the will, but no matter how many times I contact them and ask them to come and get it, they have not made any effort to do so. There is a car in my driveway that I want gone, so that I may put MY car in MY driveway; bedroom furniture that needs to be gone so that I may move into the master bedroom, etc.
Can I force them to come and get this stuff, or can I charge them storage fees??? This is a 4 bedroom house, and only 2 bedrooms have my things in them. My furniture is in storage of my own, and I have been paying for that all this time...
