What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello,
My father passed away in early 2007 when he was married to his second wife (not my mother). She is a very difficult person to deal with and she is very tight with money. My father had a retirement account worth $400,000 that was likely commingled with her retirement account while he was still alive. This amount, or a part of it, is the only thing I would stand to inherit. I do not know whether my father was able to complete a will or living trust (he was very ill for several years before his death). And due to various reasons, I have not yet been able to approach his wife about this topic, and may have to wait a little longer before doing so. My question is, if there is a will or a living trust, and I am named as a beneficiary, do I have a limited time to receive or claim my inheritance?
Thank YouWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
