Can an outside child have stake in my Dad's property?

Answered by attorney Susan Goodkind Wideman (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
Once father has died, if the property has to go through Probate (wills usually require Probate) he could try to make a claim on the property in the Probate Court, but he may not be successful.

Does this make the home community property given he added my name to the deed?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You need to look at the title of the house. If you're on the title, then you have an ownership interest. If you're not, then you may have only an equitable interest if you divorce. If you want to be sure, hire a title company or real estate lawyer to prepare a deed from him to both you and him.

Do I need to go to probate court if my parent passed away recently, left no will, there is no property and no assets?

As you describe the situation,the estate did have assets. It had the $5,000 you and your sibling are disputing. You are not entitled to the assets of the estate without some action, perhaps as little as filing a small estate affidavit. As much as you do not want to consider it, your sibling is in the right until you take action to give you a legal right to some portion of the $5,000.
