Who will get my aunt's house when she passes away?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It's a bit unclear what happened, but I'm going to attempt to answer your question in either scenario. If your aunt signed the deed over to your sister, then it is no longer your aunt's house because she sold it to her (or gave it away) when she transferred the title to her. If, instead, your sister prepared a deed and forged your aunt's signature, this is an invalid transfer. You didn't say whether or not this new deed done by your sister was filed in the county deed records, but the best thing to be done is to contact a local attorney for a consultation about this matter. If your aunt is still alive, this matter can be resolved relatively quickly with either a correction deed or a title examination.

Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
If the will was probated, then it's a public record and you can obtain a copy by going to the courthouse (either in person or on the courthouse's website). If the will has not been probated, but you know who has the original will, you can petition the court to force the person who has the will to provide it to the county clerk. You can then file for probate yourself.

How do I obtain legal executive of my daughter's estate?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Hire a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your daughter lived and died.  Depending on the size of the estate, you may be able to file a Small Estate Affidavit.  This costs less than a determination of heirship and does not require a court appearance.
