What if a small estate stops being small after finishing the process?

Contact a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your mother died.  This is not a DIY project.

My question is if my wife is the sole remaindermen in a life estate or 1 of 4?

Damien Matthew Bosco
Answered by attorney Damien Matthew Bosco (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Damien Bosco, P.C.
Hello. My name is Damien. I am a Trusts & Estates attorney in New York City practicing in the New York City metropolitan area. Generally, in order to sell the property when there is a life estate, all of the life tenants and remaindermen have to agree to the sale. Yet, a remainderman could sell, assign or transfer his or her interest in the property, but the buyer would have to take the property subject to the rights of the life tenants and other remaindermen. In other words, in effect, if all the life tenants and some remaindermen agree to sell their share of the property, the remaindermen who did not sell their share would remain as property owners holding the property as tenants in common with the new buyer or buyers. So, it is possible to argue that a contract among the other parties to sell their share of the property remains valid while the remainderman who did not agree to sell her or his property interest would keep her or his property interest and become a tenant in common with the other buyer or buyers. If you need any assistance, a New York Trusts & Estates Attorney could help you. If you wish to speak on the phone about it, you can call Damien Bosco, P.C. at (646) 452-7082 or email me at DamienBoscoEsq@gmail.com

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
It is the Executor's job to make sure the property is safe and secure. That is a good reason to keep it locked up. If you want more access, I would start with talking to the Executor about what you want to do.
