What is the name of your state? Looking for some guidance, please.
My grandparents’ estate has never been finalized. Now, my father – the estate’s PR – is in an incapacitated mental state. I am looking to start work to finalize the estate, but I am not sure how to go about the process, given some of the complexities. Here are details.
Should probate be reinitiated in Oklahoma or could it be filed in Colorado?
Will my mother be able to potentially act as PR for estate, given that she is POA for my father?
What else should I be considering?
Thank you in advance for any insight.
My grandparents’ estate has never been finalized. Now, my father – the estate’s PR – is in an incapacitated mental state. I am looking to start work to finalize the estate, but I am not sure how to go about the process, given some of the complexities. Here are details.
- Probate initiated in Oklahoma in 1990 (grandparents lived/died in Oklahoma). Probate case was dismissed in 1992 (Order of Dismissal).
- My understanding is that remaining probate tasks are related to stock ownership. There are various common stocks that require ownership to transfer from my grandparents to my father.
- Other matters of estate have been resolved, including real estate, debts (with exception of 2019 income taxes) and personal property.
- The law firm that facilitated probate in Oklahoma is no longer in business as both partners of firm have since died.
- My father – PR of estate – now lives in Colorado.
- My father is in an incapacitated state as of November 2019.
- There is medical documentation of my father’s incapacity by a practicing physician.
- My mother is his statutory POA. She also lives in Colorado.
- My father is in an incapacitated state as of November 2019.
