  If a probate case is opened in Florida for the estate of a deceased person, does the Pennsylvania inheritance tax apply to a joint bank account held exclusively between the deceased mother and her son? Probate has not yet started.

• Insurance company sent no adjuster, no mold testing, and ignored contractor estimates for ceiling collapse in bedroom. Do I have a bad faith claim?

  Asked in Bellevue, PA | January 5, 2026

  During below-freezing temps the bedroom ceiling began leaking and then collapsed. The insurance co paid some but denied the remainder by labeling it seepage, despite our contractor being there that day and stating it was not seepage and occurred all at once. No adjuster would come to the property. I requested mold testing but they said no and denied mold coverage, telling me it's my responsibility. Seems improper investigation, bad faith, they label as seepage. I had a contractor there that day. He wrote it was not, but a sudden occurrence. What are my options?

• Not sure if my conditions qualify for SSDI. How do I find out? Where do I begin?

  Asked in Olyphant, PA | March 16, 2026

  Had major surgery in 12/24. Went back to work in 4/2025 but only lasted 3 mos. Ended up quitting after 10 yrs of service. Was unable to adjust to new life changes. They removed my bladder, appendix, fallopian tubes, colon, and 2 ft of intestines. They created a fake bladder out of my intestines and used my other body parts to create a canal where I catheterize through a stoma (hole) in my stomach. Most bathrooms are not equipped for my needs, and there is also the privacy issue. I developed some sort of PTSD after the surgery and am currently in therapy for severe depression. I am unable to adapt. I have had other complications since the surgery. I am now seeing a gastro doctor for bowel issues. I either developed some sort of IBD, or because of having less intestines, my body cannot control my bowel movements like it used to. My problem is that I waited a year before I started seeing other doctors for these issues because I wanted to give my body enough time to heal after having such major surgery. So I have no paper trail until recently. I tried a job working from home, but wasn't even able to do that.
