Is it illegal to occupy a house that is in probate?

Answered by attorney Richard Joseph Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
In Missouri it is not illegal to stay in a house because it is in probate. You may actually want to have someone live in the house since most homeowner's insurance policies say that the insurance is void it no one is living there after 30 days. The biggest problem is getting relatives out of the house after the death of the decedent. If the house sells and you are living there, you have to understand that you are required to move out. What you do not say is what is going on at this time in regard to probating your mother's estate. If there is no probate going on, please see an attorney as soon as possible to protect your interests.

If there is no will the statute on descent and distribution controls. The spouse receives ? of the decedent's estate, the children born to or adopted by the decedent equally divide the remaining half. If a child predeceased the decedent then the descendants of that child equally share in the portion that would have gone to the deceased child. Any property held in joint tenancy passes to the surviving joint tenant and is not part of the estate of the deceased.

How can I keep a child off my property once I die?

This is hard to do. I would make sure that the child does not have a key to your house. I would also make sure that you have a will which appoints someone else as personal representative. That person should get the will admitted to probate as soon as possible after your death. The personal representative can then notify the child that he or she should not come on the property.
