    California - Father just died - significant estate

    From what I have read on several sites it seems to me I am an heir. But what I call myself is really not relevant to my questions. I'm a biological offspring. You are right about the Secretary of State. He is listed as 'agent'. He is also shown as the only officer or director of the...

    California - Father just died - significant estate

    Is his widow one of the two who had kids with him? Or was she wife #3? She is not the mother of anyone. Wife number 3 or 4 - not sure. So...this may seem like an odd question...why do you think you're an heir? In case it's not obvious from the question, your status as a child of your father...

    California - Father just died - significant estate

    Thanks for the information. Pretty much what I thought. I suppose I’ll hear or not in the next few weeks. And I will check for probate case. As of now - there is one rich widow in LA.

    California - Father just died - significant estate

    Not estranged but not close. I’m one of 4 kids by 2 mothers. Father was married at time of death to another woman for 30 years. He 96 / she 60. As an heir - do I have any ‘rights’? A couple properties I know of are in a trust. He owns a medium size business - a California stock corporation. He...

    Trust needed?

    Married. California. I am being encouraged to set up a trust. Several properties all JT/WRS with wife. All bank accounts are joint. Until one of us dies (assuming we don't die at the same time) is there much benefit to a trust at this point? Thanks!

    Quick Cash Buyer TV ads - Ethical????? Legal???

    She feels there was some pressure. But you're correct. She's a grown woman and even though she was dealing with the death of her mother should have been more thoughtful. She acknowledges that. She is not going to muddy the waters legally. I'm the one thinking of that...... Thanks for the B&P...

    Quick Cash Buyer TV ads - Ethical????? Legal???

    I'm not sure I have enough answers. And not sure what 'conclusion' you refer to. Property in a trust with daughter (62 y/o) as beneficiary. Signed a purchase agreement. Buyers have opened escrow that they say will be handling everything. Death March 24 - now 2 weeks into contract - supposed to...

    Quick Cash Buyer TV ads - Ethical????? Legal???

    Thanks - kinda what I figured. They are all licensed realtors - or at least the guy who signed the contract. And several others within (both) the organization. I actually want to make them an offer over what they paid. But might be less than they think they can otherwise get. Looking for any...

    Quick Cash Buyer TV ads - Ethical????? Legal???

    Elderly neighbor recently died. Her daughter (heir) lives about an hour away. Not real estate savvy. Always told me she would offer me house when… When her mom died she contacted 2 quick buy / cash offer companies that advertise on TV here. 2 of 4. Before contacting me. Quickly, within a...
