Bond company requires citizen as administrator. So you as a green card cannot get a bond.
The bond company suggest you ask a citizen friend as an administrator. But they also want a lawyer involved.
In this situation, you have two choice
(1) ask the judge to drop the requirement of the probate bond because of your non-citizenship status, as well as you are the mother of the heir, there is some assumption of fiduciary dependability. Of course it's better you provide witness or supporting evidence to show you are dependable and careful, such as gainfully employed, highly educated etc.
Or
(2) you will have to step aside and ask a citizen friend to act as an administrator. That way a bond could be purchased. I think you have to try this first, before asking the judge to drop the bond requirement. You'll have to show that there is no plausible alternative (such as the ex has no family member, no close friend suitable). You don't have to show you don't have friends/relatives, because it is your ex's estate, as long as he has no relative/friends living nearby it is enough to show there is no plausible alternative administrator.
This is the best I can come up with, I am not estate lawyer so this could be all wrong.
我在佛吉尼亚州,要处理前夫的遗产(没有遗嘱),继承人是我的小孩,尚未成年。等成年后,这个estate account会关掉,钱转交给孩子。
开始的时候估计了大概的钱数,后来所有账户统计下来,比一开始的要多一些,地方法院要求我increase probate bond。我联系了agency以后,发现有些问题。
1. 我只有绿卡,不是美国公民,申请被拒了。
2. agency建议,找个美国公民一起申请(朋友同意帮忙),然后还需要一个处理遗产的律师
3. 到法院重新在estate 的administrator上加上朋友的名字(有可能我的名字还要去掉,看法院的意见)
我这几天一直在联系不同的agency和律师,但是因为covid,他们反应也比较慢,我想请问:
1. 能否有人推荐合适的公司获准我probate bond,按说这种公司应该很多,不知道是否能有哪家公司可以通过,就不必换人那么麻烦。
2. 是否能帮我推荐Virginia的律师?我联系了几个,要不反馈很慢一直留言,要么说不做这个业务。
是否有哪位专业人士了解这个流程?一定需要律师吗?没有律师我自己处理是否可行?遗产都是小孩的,也没有多少钱,我也并不打算用账户的钱,只等过两年转交给孩子。感觉花很多在律师费上,是损失了孩子的钱。
多谢各位的帮助!
有些女同志,不懂的东西就爱问人,不爱自己做研究。你去问probate bond的人关于probate的问题,人家不是律师或者不是你的律师,不想回答你的问题,当然随口建议你找一个律师。
由于死者不是你的现配偶,你必须找一个美国公民朋友做执行人,但是不必找律师。功课要自己做。probate court service比较帮忙,因为很多死者家属并不富裕
所以法院指定我做现在的administrator。问题出在我不是美国公民上,所以保险公司认为我不bondable,他们建议如果有律师代理的话,就可以通过我的bond申请,因为除了不是公民这一条,其他所有条件我都满足,只是他们公司的underwriter这个规定是过不去的。
如果我本人是美国公民,那么后面的问题都没有了,只是这一条,造成了现在的结果,或者需要寻找一个肯通过bond的公司,或者换人/增加人申请bond,同时改administrator。现在有一个公司给出通过bond的附加条件是有一个律师代理,以进一步降低他们的风险。
不知道我是否描述清楚了。
你的原文说你不想找律师,所以我说你可以找个美国公民当administrator,不必找律师。这是底线。
如果你现在联系的bond company要求你找律师,那么你就去找新的公司好了。把自己的功课做够,先把administrator变成你的朋友,然后以他的名义去找新的bond 公司去谈。这样bond公司不会先入为主认为你一个新移民又不是公民,一定要你去找律师。
我不知道我说明白没有。有时候要把自己的处境包装一下,不需要和bond company说的话就不要说。
因为这种公司应该很多,就好像购房的贷款一样,也许有些公司通不过,但是另一个公司可以,价格上有差别,但是省事。
第二个问题是有没有人能推荐律师,毕竟网络上大家经过见过的多,也许用过满意的律师,对双方也是好事。也是个解决方案。
最好的办法是能够找到合适的probate bond的公司,实在不行需要去改administrator的话,流程相对麻烦。
只有死者的配偶可以是非公民当执行者。但是你不是配偶。
公司这么说是无法变通的。我想告诉你的,是公司说的你需要律师的建议,理论上你不需要律师。本坛不推荐律师,我觉得就你的研究能力,可能需要一个律师,因为你车轱辘话把两个概念混淆了
