Is it possible for the mother to get the home back?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Chances are, no - not entirely anyway. If son died without children and did not transfer title to the house to his wife and himself, then under Michigan's intestate succession laws, after certain allowances, the property in his estate would be divided one half to the wife and one half to the mother. Would probably require more assets than just the house in probate to make that happen. That's why you don't transfer property to children as a part of your estate plan - not unless you intend an outright gift and to give up control of the asset.

Does she have a right to sell the home and keep the money from the sale?

Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
While she may have the right to sell the home, the money belongs to your mother (assuming it was your mother's home). How is this question related to Florida. You might need to check with an Arizona Lawyer in regards to the powers granted to your sister.
