Hi folks,
Lost my mom recently and as the oldest of her kids, find it one of my projects to make sure here estate is handled appropriately since there's no will.
Mom's known for a while that her health was going down hill and that she wasn't going to live forever so she'd gradually eliminated a lot of things. Thus there's no real estate, nothing significant in the bank account (< $500), no vehicles, no credit cards. Basically down to personal effects and household furnishings (which I think my siblings and I can divide easily enough). Effectively mom had reached a point of living on her SS & retirement checks ... simple, quiet lifestyle with no frills.
The only possible wrinkle to this (and I spent the afternoon Wed trying to find paperwork in the probate office to bear this out) is that family lore indicates that mom inherited a number of cemetery plots from her mom... circa 1950 at age 4... but the cemetery office still shows them in her mom's name (never mind her mom's been in one since 1950) and probate office has no will for my grandmother to show who (out of grandmother's 3 children) gets/got them.
My question, is there any requirement/legal reason to actually file paperwork with probate office for my mom's estate ... and do the cemetery plots affect that decision?
I realize that legal advice on this (or any other) website is worth about what I'm paying for it and appreciate your time.
Thanks,
Randy

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
