Do we have any legal recourse on the Will?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Not sure what your first sentence means. Did your mother give her property to sister-in-law using a "quit claim deed?" If you give someone property, that's it done deal. Sister-in-law owned the property, she sells it, keeps the $130,000. Now your next sentence seems to be saying that Mom went into residential care which was paid for by Medicaid. If I'm right about that, and I'm right about the property being deeded, then a fraud was committed on the State of Oregon when the Medicaid application was submitted. The will only affects what your Mom owned when she passed away, did she own her house when she died? Did she own the proceeds of sale of the house? If your mother gave her house away six years ago, you may have a statute of limitations problem. In any case, you have two choices, hire a lawyer and find out what can be done, or let it go. Sister-in-law is hoping you'll let it go.

What are my mother's right if my she wants to sell the property if it is under my sisters name?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
As long as your sister did not use any community property (that is, money that is considered to belong to both her and her husband together) to maintain or pay for the real estate, then the real estate is your sister's separate property. Her husband would not have a good claim to it. Your sister has legal title to the property. It may be possible to get a court to order that your sister is actually a trustee, who is therefore obligated to use the property for your mother's benefit. It is doubtful that a court would agree with this, so the best solution would be to convince mother and sister to work together.

Am I entitled to half the rent if we both own 50/50 of property?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
It depends upon how title is held, but you are not likely entitled to rent unless you have an agreement to be paid by the renters.
