Thank you for your reply.

Are beneficiaries notified by probate court? My father lived in Florida. I live in Arkansas. Father named my half-sister as personal representative on his will, with me as secondary. Father passed away on October 16, 2012. Father's attorney filed his will with the probate court last week...

Thank you. :-)

A deceased parents will directs that all the adult children (biological and stepchildren, a total of 5) are to share and share alike in the entire estate, including a mobile home and (owned) lot. Only one of the 5 children lives in the same town/area of the mobile home. The rest are out of...

I don't do this out of spite or for financial gain. I have a happy, comfortable life here in Arkansas. I do this because to me, my father is the greatest man that ever lived. To me, he walks on water. He deserves better than to be locked in a cell, in diapers (because they don't have enough...

First thanks for the reply. Dad is no longer competent to make his own decisions due to a mistake at the first nursing home. He doesn't have alzheimers per se, but a similiar condition that causes his rationality and memory to come and go. The first nursing home's own house doctor knew Dad...

I posted a few months back, but can't link to that post to give you the background and history because I don't have enough posts yet. I think it can be found by searching by my user name sgtswife22. I have three half-sisters (two, if you don't count the first cousin raised as a sister) and a...

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I am my father's only biological child. They are his stepchildren, i.e., we have the same mother (who passed away in 1993), but different fathers.

Thank you for your replies. When Dad was admitted to the hospital after the heart attack in February of this year my husband and I did travel down there. When we first arrived and visited Dad in the hospital we found him to be very confused and disoriented. IMO, that's normal for an elderly...

My father is 89 years old and lives in Florida. I am his ONLY biological child and I live in Arkansas. I have three half-sisters and one half-brother. One of the sisters (the eldest) is technically not a sister at all, but a first cousin raised by our mother; never formally adopted. My...
