I've written before, but the situation has changed. My sister died intestate l(in Hawaii) eaving lots of bills and a legacy of book royalties which we would like to protect for her son. (Father is also gone.) The son does not wish to move to WA with me, and Hawaii says he has the right to make this decision. So he may not be my ward, but I feel I should be doing something about the estate, since no one else has begun the probate process. I don't want anyone adopting him with the thought that he might have money coming to him. Even though it is pitifully little, it should still be his at some point. How do I proceed? I don't even know who to contact in Hawaii for any information.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
Contact the Hawaii information operator, and get the number for the Hawaii State Bar Association. Call them, and ask for a referral to a Probate Attorney. Make arrangements for a Probate to be filed and what to do with the youngster.
