What happens if I move to another state while my estate is still in the process of being settled?

If you move to another state while your estate is still being settled in Idaho, the estate will still need to be handled according to Idaho estate laws. The probate court in your county in Idaho will continue to handle estate matters such as determining how and when assets are distributed. If you have a will, it will be handled according to the instructions in the will. If your estate is not handled according to Idaho estate laws, it could have significant implications for you and your family. In addition to the probate court handling the estate matters, you may need to file additional documents in the state in which you have moved. Depending on the complexity of the estate and the assets involved, there may be additional taxes or fees you need to pay. You may also need to appoint a representative to handle estate matters in the new state. It is important that you talk to an attorney in both states in order to understand your rights and obligations with respect to your estate. Finally, if you move to another state, it is important that you provide an updated address and contact information so that the court and other parties involved in the estate can reach you. This will ensure that you are kept up to date on matters involving your estate and any changes that may need to be made.
