What is the name of your state? Ohio
My mom broke her knee before she passed away and her atty said that an estate had to be done in order for me to continue her lawsuite, which we did. My mother was still leaglly married to my father and I also have a brother. I did not know where my father was and that is why I was the executor of the estate and not him. Since that time I have reunited with my father and recently we have come to a settlement. I understand that Ohio law dictaes my father gets the 1st 20,000. I have downloaded the probate forms that I will need and notice that there is a waiver. I know that my half sibblings will not sign this waiver as soon as they see my fathers name listed. I am trying not to drag this out any further and am scared that my hafl sibblings will do everything they can so that this does not happen. Is there anything they can do and what if they do not sign the wavier? Also I am not sure where all of them are I know I can get in contact with at least 2 of them. They really were not in our lives alot except one that called every couple of months and visited with her once or twice a year.What is the name of your state?
