Who is liable for the taxes and the lawyer fees in a will estate distribution?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Generally, taxes and debts are paid by the estate as a whole. It sounds like the decedent made specific bequests to certain people. Those bequest get taken care of first. If you got the residuary estate, you get what is left after all of those payments. You didn't pay the taxes, the estate did.

Can I stop her and get what should be my things?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Title needs to be reviewed ASAP. Get an attorney. If you have proof the home was left to you (the deed even though unrecorded), bring it forward NOW. Don't waste ANY time or it will be an expensive mess.

Does property still need to be probated from father's death, is that document legal (no quitclaim) and how does Inheritance work in this situation?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It is possible, if not probable, that your wife signed away her rights under the agreement and release. If she had not done so, she would have been entitled to a 1/2 interest in the property. Her parents were owners by tenants in common, meaning that upon the death of either one of them, the deceased's share would have had to go through probate. Being that your wife appears to have signed away her rights, there may be nothing left for her to pursue. You should have an attorney review the document she signed. (Ideally, this would have been done before she signed them.) There may be nothing left that she can do.
