Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Usually, only the signed Will would be valid and paid attention to. However, if there was fraud or some other special circumstances then other documents like the unsigned Will could become important.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Sharon M. Siegel
Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel
Estate Planning lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
There are two ways a deed can transfer. First, all distributees (next of kin) sign the deed. Second, the executor/administrator can transfer the property by signing an executor's deed. I know you say you are not interested in the house or proceeds, but I would suggest that you file a petition for administration so that you control the process and proceeds. Perhaps you can strike a deal whereby he buys you out. But, you want to become the administrator so you can sell the house to a third party. I suggest that you consult a lawyer.
