What can I do to stop the father's brother from removing property?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Go in there and take pictures. When the estate is opened, have the judge sign an order compelling your uncle to account for what he took. Meanwhile, go in there and secure any remaining items of value and get the lock changed on the house. You will have to open a probate estate to deal with the house and its contents and any accounts that were titled in your father's name. You should contact a lawyer for that.

What happens to the house if I die?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you transfer your house to your husband (which is what he's talking about don't focus on the loan, focus on the ownership; and remember, the lender will only write a loan for the person or people who own the house) nothing happens when you die, because you don't own the house any more. Your husband could write a will leaving the house to your sons; he could also change his will or sell the house after you die. I cannot imagine that there are savings so substantial from refinancing that it is worth taking this risk.

Answered by attorney Yahima Suarez (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Hernandez & Suarez, PL
Absent a will and appointment of personal representative by the deceased, all legal heirs need to consent to the appointment of the PR. Right off the bat, the spouse B does not have any rights as the second marriage is null and void-it is not legally enforceable. The heirs to the estate shall be the real espouse and any children. If the prior spouse and children agree to the appointment of personal representative, then spouse B can be the personal representative. The parents of the deceased are not heir to the estate absent a will in this case and have no say in nominating the PR. will not be valid.
