What I can do in order to get her to give me the deed so I can get insurance and proceed with my life?

The terms of the Trust must be followed by the Trustee. If the Trust assets are being distributed to some beneficiaries then the distributions should be made to all beneficiaries. Make sure there are no postponement of possession provisions that affect your distribution under the trust. If nothing in the Trust would act to delay your distribution then you can force action by the Trustee in court. You should start with a written demand.

Would my mother's debt and lawsuit be charged on me if I probate her assets?

Randy M Lish
Answered by attorney Randy M Lish (Unclaimed Profile)

No. Only the assets in her estate would be liable to her creditors. They would be paid before you get your share, but if the estate is not large enough to cover the debts, you cannot be charged with the debts.

Is it illegal to occupy a house that is in probate?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Are you paying rent? Do you have a lease? Absent either you have no right to remain. It is up to the Court appointed representative to decide if you can remain. There may be issues with insurance, selling the home, etc. so even if it is not illegal, if may be in the estate's best interest for you to vacate and on an estate that is what matters. If she had a Will and gave you a right to remain there, my answer might change. You should meet with an attorney where your mother lived. These types of matters will usually require a retainer. If you cannot afford an attorney and are in Las Vegas you may want to apply for a pro bono attorney through Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada.
