What is the name of your state? Florida/Pennsylvania
my brother died in Florida last year. he had no estate, left no will, had no spouse or children, but at the time of his death, he was receiving a monthly annuity check from out late mothers retirement annuity (state of PA). $7500 Closest heirs: 2 sisters
Annuity company wants a "short certificate" to release funds. Florida doesn't have "short cert." i am currently trying to file for summary administration in Fl to ask for a statement allowing release of these funds.
here's the catch. The medical center he died in has made a claim of $3717 on the estate. This claim was sent to me.
2 questions:
Is the annuity money i am asking to be released considered part of my brothers estate?
what if there is not enough money to pay this claim? if i get half that's 3750 - funeral expenses i paid (over $2000). what do i need to do to have the claim discharged.
sorry so long
