It depends on the type of property and what the value was. Also you have to look at whether they were jointly owned or she owned them personally. You should discuss this with an estate planning lawyer

Can he get the house back like he is claiming and can he put me in troubles?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
First of all you have title to the house and are the owner, so don't be scared of losing the house. Secondly, obtain yourself legal counsel to have the person removed from the house, so you can move forward. Don't let him attempt to make you feel guilty. The attorney should be one who specializes in unlawful detainer actions for removal of renters or freeloaders.

Do we have to hire an attorney if the beneficiary of an estate does not follow the will?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
A beneficiary designation to specific person overrides the will, the trust and any probate proceedings unless someone can prove in court that the designation was made by your father as a result of undue influence or lack of capacity when he made the beneficiary designation.
