Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
With just a simple will and a direct deed the IRS would indeed consider the inherited home his asset and subject to potential collection action. There are ways to protect such a gifting, and therefore would be very wise for your mother-in-law to see an attorney and perhaps avoid probate altogether.

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

Estate Planning lawyer at Howes & Anderson, P.C.
Yes. The Will must be signed and witnessed by at least two witnesses to be legally valid. An unsigned Will would not be legally valid.

Is it necessary to have an attorney to do last will and testament?

Your mother's will must be signed by your mother and by two witnesses. It does not have to be notarized. A will does not have to be prepared by an attorney, but an attorney can make sure that the will does everything that you need it to do.
