What do I need to do to be able to sell my mother's house?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You are advised to obtain a probate lawyer who can file a petition into probate court to have you appointed administrator of the estate so you can get an order transferring title from the deceased to you and your siblings, which will allow sale of the property and capability to transfer title in escrow.

If I'm the Primary Borrower on a FHA loan, what are my rights?

Answered by attorney Kelvin P. Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Kelvin Green
It's really not a matter of who the primary borrower is but how the title of Property is done. The law will use the title to determine successor interests.
