[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 436750, member: 43"] tmaygspeara --- not to stick my nose in your business but, assuming your dad resides in Louisiana and his property is there as well, it might be a good idea to contact an attorney regarding his property and the estate transfer rules that are peculiar to Louisiana. As I recall, Louisiana is the one state that does not essentially use English common law in regards to rights of succession and instead uses a version of Napoleonic Code.

I might be all wet on this, as it comes from way back in the recesses of my mind!
