Under Minnesota law, a statute is the legal period within which legal action must be taken to enforce a person's legal rights. Laws affecting the characteristics of the deceased and their families have a large number of deadlines to follow. You will need the correct procedure at that time, otherwise you may lose your rights.
The first deadline is for the inheritance to begin within three years of the death of the family member. It is possible to initiate legal procedures to get the distribution of assets after three years, but the processes are more complicated. As expected, when things get more complex, they also become more expensive.
When one of the heirs appears before the succession court requesting the appointment of an executioner or personal representative, a written notice is sent to the other heirs. People who receive this notice have 30 days to object to the person named as personal representative. It is possible to ask the court later to remove this person as a personal representative, but it is more difficult to do so later.
If you are a spouse with the deceased person and do not like the provisions of the will, you must file your objection within nine months of death or within six months of the estate presentation.
If the deceased loved one has a potential claim or claim against another person, the time for a representative on behalf of the deceased to intervene in debt may be running out. There are legal provisions to suspend the implementation of certain statutes of limitations. However, it is better to be safe with timely action.
Once the inheritance is started, the executor or personal representative has six months to prepare and deliver an inventory (or list of all deceased's assets) of the inheritance to the heirs and creditors.
When the personal representative asks the court to approve the posting of the estate and / or the distribution of the inheritance, any beneficiary or creditor who does not agree with the manner in which these statements must file an objection to the court at the time of the hearing or the could lose their right to object. Objections often include disagreements about how wealth is managed, how much is payable to the beneficiaries or in relation to expenses.
If you have a debt owed by the deceased, you have four months in Minnesota after the succession process begins to file a claim. For example, if you had an agreement with the deceased loved one to provide care for that person for a certain amount per Month, and you have not been paid, you must file a claim. If you do not submit the application within the time allowed, you may lose your rights completely. If the personal representative disputes your claim, you may reject it by sending a written notice to the complainant two months after receipt of the claim. The plaintiff has two months to file a motion with the court to dismiss their claim.
The deadlines I analyze in this article / video have a number of exceptions and a possible extension. Of course, the safest thing is always to be present within the set deadlines, so you don't have to get an exception or extension.
As you can see, probate law has many deadlines that require rights or these rights can be lost. If you have possible rights as a beneficiary, heir or creditor of a estate, consult a real estate attorney to ensure that your rights are protected. Time may run out before you know it.
