American Samoa is a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean that lie about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand and about 100km east of the island country of Samoa, which is part of the same archipelago, ethnicity and culture.

American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States of America. The citizens of American Samoa are US "nationals" and not US "citizens," but they are allowed to travel freely between American Samoa and the US mainland. They are not required to obtain green cards or visas to stay or work in the United States, and they are allowed to serve in the US armed forces (and often do). There are some ways that American Samoa’s special status as an unincorporated territory has interesting legal consequences. The US Constitution is not necessarily the supreme law of the land in American Samoa, and Samoan cultural norms, in particular those related to the ownership of property and public displays of religion, actually trump certain well-settled US constitutional rights in American Samoa.

The main city is Pago Pago but the smaller Fagatogo is the constitutionally designated seat of government. The governor’s office is located in the village of Utulei, located on the opposite side of Fagatogo from Pago Pago.

Regions Edit

Tutuila – The main island. The major part of the populations as well as the government and international airport is located here.
Ofu – widely regarded as one of the most stunning beaches in the South Pacific, with its high peaks dropping dramatically to sparkling white sand beaches, where the only other footsteps apart from your own are those of crabs
Olosega – connected by a narrow bridge to neighboring Ofu.
Ta’u
Aunu’u – Small island located by the eastern tip of the main island Tutuila.

Understand Edit
Population was 57,496, according to the July 2008 estimate.

These islands were frequently referred to as Samoa, which is actually the name of a separate and independent country, that used to be known as Western Samoa, that lies only about 100km west of American Samoa. Also, the whole island group, including Samoa, are often identified as the Samoan islands.

Settled as early as 1000 BCE by Polynesian navigators, Samoa was reached by European explorers in the 18th century. International rivalries in the latter half of the 19th century were settled by an 1899 treaty in which Germany (later Britain) and the US divided the Samoan archipelago. The US formally occupied its portion, a smaller group of eastern islands with the excellent harbor of Pago Pago in the following year.

American Samoa is warm, humid and rainy year-round, but there is a long, wet summer season (October – May) and a slightly cooler and drier season (June – September). Total annual rainfall is 125 inches at the Tafuna airport and 200+ inches in mountainous areas. Such rainfall gave the English writer Somerset Maugham the name for his short story "Rain", based in Pago Pago, which was subsequently turned into a play and movie.

90% of the land in the group of islands is communally owned. Economic activity is strongly linked to the US and the greater part of its foreign trade is with the US. The private sector is dominated by tuna fishing and the tuna processing plants, canned tuna being the primary export. Monetary transfers from the US Government also add substantially to American Samoa’s economic well-being. Since the emergence of US influence and control the government of the United States of America has put up resistance to the emergence of local independence movements. Following the lead of the British and Germans in Western Samoa, in the early 20th century the American Samoa Mau movement was actively suppressed by the US Navy as well.

The Governor of American Samoa is the head of government and exercises executive power. American Samoa is an unincorporated and unorganized territory of the United States, administered by the Office of Insular Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior. Its constitution was ratified in 1966 and came into effect in 1967.

In both American Samoa and (independent) Samoa there is traditional village political system common to all of the Samoa Islands, the "fa’amatai" and the "fa’asamoa" interacts across the current international boundaries. The Fa’asamoa represents language and customs, and the Fa’amatai the protocols of the "fono" (council) and the chief system. The Fa’amatai and the Fono take place at all levels of the Samoan body politic, from the family, to the village and include regional and national matters. Do not get confused by the fact that none of the places on this page are described by precise addresses, as such a thing does not exist at American Samoa. Instead everything is described by village and further landmarks.

What if the wrong person is trying to become administrator of the estate?
April 26, 2019
By Erik J. Broel

Tags administrator, estate, estate dispute

Who becomes the administrator?
It happens all too often. A family member passes away and after the funeral, thoughts turn to probate and settling the estate. Someone takes charge and decides that they are the right person to be the administrator of the estate. What if you don’t agree? What if you think they’re the absolute wrong person to handle the estate? What can you do?

The good news is you do have options. What your options are depend on whether your loved one left a will or not. In this article, we’re going to focus on estates where no will was left. These are called intestate estates.

To start, let’s look at the general process of getting someone appointed in an intestate estate. First, a petition must be filed with the appropriate probate court. The petitioner (the person asking to become the administrator) may get signed acknowledgements from the other heirs supporting the petition. If all heirs sign, then the appointment process is much easier and will go through the court unopposed. If, on the other hand, all heirs do not consent to the petition then the case gets a lot more complicated.

Once the probate court receives the petition to open the estate, the court must send official notice to any heirs who did not consent to the petition. Note: there are some petitions that are sneakier, and do not require the probate court to notify anyone. This article does not address those petitions.

When the notice is sent by the probate court, the clock starts ticking. If an heir does not file a formal objection (usually called a caveat) by the deadline, then the estate will proceed forward and the petitioner may be appointed as administrator.

Related Topic: What to do when some heirs not included in probate?
So, how do you stop this?

First, if you truly disagree with a certain person being appointed as administrator, then do not sign a consent saying you agree. You are not required to sign the consent, so don’t be pressured into doing so. At some point, the petitioner will decide to file his or her petition without obtaining your signature. You may not know when the petitioner files, so pay attention to your mail and look for a letter from the Probate Court. If you live in Georgia, the Court may send a sheriff to deliver the notice personally.

Second, after you receive the notice you will have 10 to 13 days to file a response. Check the Court’s letter for the exact deadline. You must file a formal objection in the Probate Court before the deadline expires. If you do not, then the Court may grant the petition and appoint the administrator.

Your objection must have a legal basis. An objection like this is a complicated undertaking, and we strongly recommend you have a Georgia probate attorney help you with it. After the objection is filed, there will be a period of discovery where each party gathers evidence to support their position. There may be one or more motions filed, depending on the situation, and those motions may have hearings in probate court. Finally, after discovery has concluded, there will be a final hearing on the petition or objection where each side will present their case to the judge.

There you have it. As you can imagine, there is a lot of thought, analysis, and work that goes into each stage of the process to be successful. If you are not sure what to do next, we recommend you get professional help. If you would like our office to help you, please schedule a consultation.

A blended family is one where a spouse (or both) have at least one child from a previous marriage or relationship. This dynamic has become commonplace. In fact, one in six children nationwide live in a household with a step-parent, step-sibling, or half-sibling. And about 65 percent of remarriages create a blended family.

The most-famous blended family is a television one—the Brady Bunch. When Mike and Carol Brady married, each brought three children into the marriage. Mike had three boys and Carol three girls.

Fortunately, Mike and Carol managed to raise the kids as one big, happy family. But let’s fast-forward a few decades: What would have happened if Mike died before Carol?

If Mike died intestate (meaning that he died without a will), then his property would go to Carol consistent with their locale’s intestacy laws. In other words, Carol would get most, if not all, of Mike’s stuff.

Now let’s say that Carol dies a few years later without creating a will or getting married again. All of her stuff goes to her daughters. Mike’s sons, on the other hand, get nothing.

And if Carol married, and then died intestate, the result would be even worse. Carol’s new husband would get the lion’s share of Mike’s property. And, again, Mike’s sons would get nothing.

Now let’s play the scenario out again, assuming that Mike, Carol, and the kids were not one, big happy family. When Mike dies, Carol can stop Mike’s sons from visiting the family home. She can block them from receiving any sentimental mementos. And, of course, she can funnel all of Mike’s wealth away from his biological sons and to her daughters, even though Mike was not their biological father.

As we can see, blended families pose troubling issues, whether or not the blended family likes each other. Fortunately, by being proactive, these troubles can be banished before storm clouds have a chance to gather.

Step one: Act now. Don’t wait until you get sick or hurt. Make a plan years before you think you will need it.

Step two: Tell your family the plan, preferably in person and again in writing. Disclosure early can cure many ills later.

Step three: Regularly update your plan to keep up with current events. For example, if one of your kids takes care of you while others don’t, you may want that kid to receive more since they did more.

Step four: Notify your family about the updates, preferably in person and again in writing.

Now that we’ve covered the steps we should take, let’s circle back to the planning stage with four tips to protect both your assets and your family.

First, a simple will is normally too simple to address the complexities of a blended family. Don’t create a will that simply says your assets will pass to your spouse—unless you want your spouse to have the power to cut off your biological kids after you are gone.

Second, think hard about creating a trust rather than a will. The advantage here is that a trust is a vastly more flexible tool than a will for passing your wealth. For example, unlike a will, a properly drafted trust can protect your kids’ access to your assets if your spouse gets remarried. Similarly, unlike a will, a trust can be written to leave assets for your spouse during their lifetime and then, after they pass, transferring what is left over to your kids.

Third, if you create a trust, pick a trustworthy and sophisticated trustee. This person’s job will include investing the trust’s assets and then distributing them to the trust’s beneficiaries. These roles, in turn, create a natural conflict between your spouse and kids. That’s because your spouse benefits from the trustee distributing money during the spouse’s lifetime while the kids benefit from the trust growing rather than spending the trust assets. As a result, the trustee needs to know not only how to manage the trust funds, they also need to understand how to swim through potentially tense family drama.

Fourth, consider putting some of your assets into accounts that will automatically transfer to your kids when you die, so that they are taken care of regardless of what your spouse does. For instance, you can go to your bank, fill out a form designating your beneficiary and, voila, the designated beneficiary will receive that account when you pass. These accounts (which are known as pay-on-death accounts, informal trusts, or Totten trusts) have several advantages: They’re free, easy to create, and simple to use for your designated beneficiary.

But if you set up one of these accounts, remember to regularly review it. It would be a bummer if you originally selected one of your kids, had a falling out with them, but accidentally left them as the designated beneficiary. In that case, it doesn’t matter that you did not want them to receive anything. They would still get the account because you didn’t update the beneficiary.

In sum, while blended families have become common, they are by no means easy. Indeed, they provide fertile ground for family drama. But with some thoughtful planning, this rich soil need not blossom into conflict. To avoid your death becoming the spark that sets your family ablaze, speak with an experienced estate-planning
