Can I go to jail for keeping my deceased fathers money from his bank account?
My father passed away 4 months ago.. we have not gone to probate and I filed a probate 1300 form at his bank to obtain the money in his account. Our attorney said we will not go to probate and everything is to be divided equally. I am pretty much in charge. Can I go to jail for keeping the money in my fathers bank account? It was around $8,000. My brothers have already received about that much in my fathers personal property.
