Hello ****,
You may need to consult with a probate attorney. In Massachusetts, if there is no will, the property is divided equally among the children. For the property in New Hampshire, you should check their intestate laws. It's crucial to ensure your interests are protected.
I realize i am going to have to get a lawyer now, was just not sure if there was a time limit to file something in new hampshire as it is approaching 6 months since he passed.
In New Hampshire, there is no strict deadline to open probate. However, after 3 years from the date of death, you may need court permission. Please consult with a probate attorney to ensure your interests are protected.
