What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You need to file a petition for probate and possibly a partition action. There is no way around it so see a probate attorney immediately.

How do I leave everything to my kids?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The personal things you should give to your kids during your lifetime. You can create a will that leaves all to your kids, but your spouse will have the right to "elect against the will" when you pass away, claiming her elective share of your estate, which is based on the length of time you have been married. If you disclaim the inheritance from your mother it will pass as though you had died before her which may work, but you cannot change the way the property passes if you disclaim. You could ask your mother to leave the property to your kids.
