What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? California
My brother just passed away at the age of 54. We are not able to locate a will. The estate is less than $100,000.00. He has 2 daughters. We understand that all goes to the girls, but since they live at the opposite end of the state my father, stepmother, my other brother, my Aunt, my husband and myself had to pack his belongings and put into storage, take care of crematory arrangements, etc. Quite a bit of expenses have taken place. We don't dispute the legalities of who his estate belongs to, we just want reembursement. We attempted to get paperwork from the courthouse in the city in which he resided and they said they have no idea as to what type of paperwork is needed to handle this. Any suggestions without having going through an attorney, which will be another expense we may not get reembursed for.
Thank you -
