My mother owns a home which in the will states all assests divided equally between brother and myself 50/50 when she passes on. I live with her

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

I'm not sure if you are asking if you have to pay all of the taxes when your mom dies, or now.  When your mom dies the Estate will be responsible for paying taxes on the house until it is transferred into you name and your brother's name.  The Estate will consist of all of your mother's assets, other than the house, and the money that is in the estate will be used to pay all of her last bills, and costs associated with administration, etc.  One thing you should keep in mind, if you live with your mother, and she ever needs to go into a nursing home, the house is an exempt asset and can be transferred directly to you.

Do I need to go through probate?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The reason you will have to go to probate is to be able to deal with her assets, even though the assets have very little value.  The way that you will get the authority to do this is by probating her will.  Probate is VERY easy and will cost probably no more that $200.  You will then be given letters testamentary which will be evidence that you are the person who has been given the authority.  Having those letters will allow you to sell the car, and dispose of everything.  Because there is no beneficiary named on the life insurance policy, that police will be made payable to the estate, and you will be responsible for distributing the proceeds the way your grandmother wanted.  After probate, reimburse yourself for any costs, pay her last debts, open an estate account at a bank, deposit the proceeds of the life insurance and what ever you get for the sale of the car, and then distribute everything to the people named in the will.

She should hire a NJ estate lawyer. No, she should not be liable unless she co-signed. An estate may need to be opened. If there are insufficient assets of the husband to pay the debts, the court will discharge the claims.
