If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Not unless she had moved out more than a year prior to his death. If it was for more than a year, you have an argument under Michigan law. Otherwise, they would have had to have been legally divorced in order for her not to receive her share of the estate. There are ways that your father could have disinherited his wife. By failing to set up his estate plan, it sounds like his intent is only going to be partially honored.

My sisters refuse to give me a copy of my parents' will for 2 years already, what can I do?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
If your parents are deceased, and the sister has the original will AND she's refusing to probate it, you can file an action in probate court forcing them to deliver the original wills to the court clerk. If you can't afford to pay a lawyer to do it, you might check with a local law school and see if a legal clinic or law professor can assign a student attorney to do it for you.

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.
