QUESTION

Who is entitled to his estate?

Asked on Aug 12th, 2014 on Estate Planning - Ohio
More details to this question:
I recently found my 40 year old son's father. He has never paid a penny to help or ever been in his son's life. He owns 4 acres with 2 mobile homes on it. He is from what I understand a drug addict and dealer, in poor health. My question is, in the event of his death or anytime before that, does my son and/or his daughter have any claim to his estate? He has never married and has no other children.

That answer would depend on whether or not your children's father had a will. If he had a will and specifically disinherited them, they would not have any right. However, if he did not have a will, they would have a claim to the estate under the laws of intestate succession. It sounds like you may also have a claim for child support. If you would like further assistance, I would be happy to help.
