My mother died 10 yrs ago without a will and my older brother still lives in her home how can he get a deed for the house in his name?

If the house was only in your mother's name, the house will have to go through probate. If the house has a small enough value, it can pass by a simplified probate procedure but court approval of the transfer is required. Note also that if your mother passed without a will, all of her children will inherit equally, pursuant to the laws of intestacy. I strongly suggest you contact a lawyer to help you with this.

If person on mortgage passes away and I am on the deed, how can I keep the property?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It should not have been possible for you to be an owner without being a party to the mortgage. The question becomes one of priority did your roommate deed you your interest in the property after taking the mortgage? (Or did you deed all the property to Roommate, the mortgage got signed, and Roommate deeded half back?) In that case, you'd be subject to the mortgage and you'd have to pay it. There are a couple of important questions: is the deed a survivor-ship deed, so that you inherit all the property? Or are you now joint owners with whoever takes Roommates intestate estate? If the latter, are these people you can work with? I recommend that you have a lawyer review the specific details. A few hundred dollars of legal advice now may help you avoid a big mistake, or avoid a large loss.

Can this be contested, what type of attorney would I need and can I press criminal charges on the person who did it?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You absolutely need to have an attorney look at the deeds and your grandfather's medical records. If the transfers were fraudulent, you will have to go through a court process to unwind the transfers but it likely can be done.
