Many hugs. I cannot imagine your pain. I don't know your ex or your ex daughter in law but please remember the source of this hypothesis - it was your son who was probably angry and delusional. It doesn't mean that what he said was true. There could be so many reasons why the number was the same. In a normal family situation, I wouldn't think twice if a father in law and daughter in law were in the same house immediately following a terrible situation.
Has his estate been probated? In my state you'd have to have proof of that to show the DMV. My mother couldn't even sell her car to me with my deceased dad's name on the title until we finished probate.
It's too soon, Murphy. I hadn't even thought of that. I do hope it happens as my ex and his daughter have been cleaning out my son's apartment, looking for his bank accounts, etc. (My ex actually asked me if I knew where he could find that info).
I'll find out from the DMV what they need. And I would love all this to go to probate to protect my granddaughter. I'm not familiar with what needs doing. He was my only son & have never had to go through this.
The Lord never gives you more than you can handle. I'm pretty sure you've proved yourself and I pray He lets up on you!
I hope you are able to have a relationship with your granddaughter. That would be a ray of light in this otherwise dark situation. Best wishes. I'm sorry you feel regret about not believing your son. I'm sure you've been forgiven.
Thank you hunterseat. I hope my granddaughter remembers me when she finally sees me. If not, I have a ton of photos from before this all happened. Pictures, do, speak louder than words.
P.s. The Lord has always been Tough on me. It's made me a much better person than I might have been. But yes, I am going to pray about the whole ex business & my granddaughter.

Did your son have a will? If you don't know, you should contact an attorney to facilitate a will search. That shouldn't be very expensive.
Did he have any investment accounts, life insurance accounts, annuities, etc? Those do not have to go through probate - they should have a beneficiary already named on them and should go directly to the beneficiary outside of probate.
If he died without a will, then state laws vary considerably regarding how his estate will be divided - but that info is readily available online.
His daughter should be considered his next of kin. Do you know if he had any joint accounts still in both names with his ex wife?
Any power of attorney floating around out there is null and void at the moment of death.
My son was on disability. I doubt very seriously if there were any investments of any kind.
My brother's will find out what I need to do. Love my family.
I know this is a difficult time. I just hope someone is very carefully watching out for your granddaughter's best interests in this. She would be your son's next of kin from what it sounds like - not his ex wife. I'm not saying you don't know this - just pointing it out.

Yes, Kathryn, I do understand. I have no idea how to protect her & except for the motorcycle, I have no idea what these folks are doing. It's unfortunate that the people involved are money hungry.
The ex-daughter in law is still refusing to let me get in touch with my granddaughter. I can't force the issue. I just don't know what to do.

She will be 18 on April 29th.
Oh good! That's a plus.
