Do I have to sign anything at all?

Sharon M. Siegel
Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel
Estate Planning lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
There are two ways a deed can transfer. First, all distributees (next of kin) sign the deed. Second, the executor/administrator can transfer the property by signing an executor's deed. I know you say you are not interested in the house or proceeds, but I would suggest that you file a petition for administration so that you control the process and proceeds. Perhaps you can strike a deal whereby he buys you out. But, you want to become the administrator so you can sell the house to a third party. I suggest that you consult a lawyer.

Where can I inquire about a last will and testament?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
There is not an easy way to determine if the Will submitted is the last Will executed. You could start by contacting the attorney who prepared the Will to see if any updates were made. If you have access to the Decedent's bank or credit card records you could look for payments to an attorney. You should probably discuss the next steps with an attorney.

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

Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
If the IRS has a lien against your brother-in-law, the lien could end up being against any property he owns, including anything your mother-in-law would leave to him in a will.
