Petition to Determine Succession to Real Property form error, per court.
Anonymous5 views3 answers
Form DE 310 for small estates has a question #10 that asks who the decedent was survived by. Does this need to be answered if this was addressed in question#9 pertaining to survivorship? I answered both questions and was told my question 9 was "incomplete" by the judge.
My father was divorced (marked box 2a), had natural children (marked box 5a ) and had no issue of predeceased children (box 8b). None of the other boxes apply. He was survived by a brother so I marked question 10 b (only). Could this be causing a conflict?
Thanks in advance!
Based on my reading of the form and your summary, section 10 would not need to be filled out because your father was survived by issue. (The natural children are "issue.") When you check the box in 10, it suggests that the children predeceased your father, which is not the case.
