I have been going over my father’s estate & back and forth with a step parents attorney about a document that parental figure signed off on, attorney notorized as true and correct, then had judge sign into order. My question is 2 parts. Isn’t that a legal document, enforceable and everything else? Here’s the real issue, The list of names heirs, legatees, & devisees is seriously incorrect! Spouse is listed as child/ heir, both brothers are not listed, & some guy nobody in the family heard of is listed. So question is what happens if she goes to another county to file changes of ownership especially when ogl already exists? I seriously don’t understand what is happening, especially legally. Thanks for any help you can provide, I’m ever grateful.
Can you provide a little more information? What County and State? What type of document was it?
Sure. It was the issuance of letters order that also determined legal heirs, devisees, and legatees. In Oklahoma county Ok. I have kept very meticulous documentation of all interaction with anyone involved. I have a feeling I’ll need it. I can prove everything I have done. But this issue is confusing and worrisome. So thank you for any help you can give. I cannot tell you how much it means.
You may look in the directories and try to connect with an attorney. I don’t think anyone will be able to answer without knowing a lot more about the situation.
I understand Mrs. Talasaz. I have made some calls, to no avail. I did speak to a county clerk person who told me that a correction must be filed by initial person filing originally or ask the judge to do something called a “vacancy” or something that sounded similar. I honestly don’t even know what that means and he said he didn’t have any time to explain it to me. I just don’t understand what anyone’s talking about and I’m only interested in making sure my brother and our descendants are treated fairly and legally, to the letters of the law. In fact I have made it so I personally have little or nothing to gain. Right is right & law is law. That’s it, that’s all.
Agree with Rachel. You need to discuss this with an attorney. It won’t fix itself. And, as an aside, taking legal advice from a county clerk is always dangerous.
