Can I sue someone who is dead?
The answer to that question is no, you cannot sue someone who is dead. You can sue their estate, but it won’t be as easy as suing them directly. The reason for this is that in order to sue someone, you need a contract with them (or a court summons). If you don’t have either of those, then you can’t sue them.
A Person’s estate
A person’s estate is a legal entity that takes over their property when they pass away. This means that if you want to get any money from their estate, you’ll have to go through the court. It also means that if the person didn’t have any property or money at the time of their death, there’s nothing for the estate to control and they, therefore, don’t have anything to give to anyone after they die. The exception here is if a will has been drawn up and executed, which leaves property to a specific person or group of people after death.
Going after the estate for something
If you do want to go after the estate for something, there are some things that must be figured out first. These are typically handled by a probate court in the state where the person died. The largest factors in whether or not your case will be allowed are who can inherit what from the estate and how much money there is.
Why consulting a probate attorney is important
Probate is a process of legal administration for settling the estate of a person who has died. A probate Lawyer is important because, without it, the probate process can take much longer and will be much more expensive.
What happens when someone dies
The first thing that happens after someone dies is usually the funeral service. The second thing that happens is usually the selection and appointment of an executor to administer the estate in accordance with the decedent’s will.
Executors
Executors are very important people in that they are responsible for taking care of all of the business affairs of the deceased person. This includes collecting all assets, paying debts, taxes, and any other expenses, and distributing what remains to beneficiaries as directed by the will.
