goldielocks,

You become executor "of the will" when the probate court gives you that distinction. Has this been submitted to probate?

Did your mother expect you to divide her assets (bank accounts, house and car) among the "4 children"? What was the reason your mother put your name on the titles to the house, car and bank accounts? Was it her intention to leave everything to you and nothing for the other children?

Yes, you can give the other siblings a copy of the will. I would expect that you will get the same questions from them that I have asked.

Will

I was told my mothers Will does not have to go through probate. My mother only had a bank accounts and car no house. As I said before she gave me the car a long time ago. According to the banks the bank accounts are not part of moms estate. I was the only one to take care of her she lived with me almost 4 years she had alzhermer's.

Don’t be foolhardy by seeking answers to complicated probate laws and procedures from total strangers. Hire an attorney to assist you in this highly responsible fiduciary position of administering the estate!

As confused and lost as you are you are very apt to get your butt burned.

My mother put me on her bank accounts back in the 1980. I will be seeing an attorney Thursday. Like I told you my siblings were not around to help with mother.
