What to do?

What is the name of your state? Missouri

Right now, my uncle's estate is in probate. My dad is the only living heir. I was appointed the administrator of my uncle's estate. My dad don't really want to inherit anything and wants to pass everything to me. Is this possible at this stage?

Thanks!

Only if you would be the sole heir other than your father by intestate succession and no other contingency was in the will--then father could disclaim. Otherwise it will be a gift to you from father.

Find out from an attorney or the court if there is a special form for him to disclaim. If not, then father should go ahead and accept the assets through the probate process and then he can do whatever he wants with them--give them to you, etc.

My uncle didn't leave a will. My dad is the only heir since my uncle has no wife and no children. I was given administration since my dad don't want to get involved in it and like I said he wants to pass everything to me. That's what we told the lawyer to do however, after doing research online, I've found out that I'm merely an employee of my uncle's estate and my dad would still inherit everything after the estate closes. Is it possible for him to disclaim and pass his inheritance to me during probate?
