My father passed away – 9/15/07, he lived in Arkansas, my parents are divorced, my paternal grandfather lives in Texas, and he had to identify him. We live in California. My grandfather stated that he won’t bring his ashes to CA until June 2008, during his vacation. We want his ashes, now; so that we can have closure and a memorial service for him, we know we don’t need the ashes for that but would like to have. No there was no will.
What are our rights? We are his heirs. There are 3 siblings and the oldest is 17.

if there is no will, usually the inheritance is divided equally between the heirs.
since most of you are underage, the court may designate a guardian or guardians of the inceritance until you become adults.

i believe his dad (your grandpa)has the rights to his remains if he is the one that signed for them. even if you have a legal right, is it worth taking it to court? you could offer to pay to have them shipped to you though.
