You should open a probate to distribute the estate assets. After you open your probate, you can make sure that the home is distributed correctly. You should consult a probate attorney at sgarciavidal@garciavidallaw.com.   Thank you.

Can I represent my deceased mother? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
As an heir at law of your mother you should consider filing a claim against the estate of your grandmother, if an estate was opened for her. If no estate was opened and more than a year has passed since her death, no estate can be opened but you could retain counsel an institute an action to determine heirship. In either of these situations you need to hire an attorney.

Once a will has been made, can the other spouse change it?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
It appears your mother and father held the property in joint tenancy title, and one of the rights to that form of title, is the right of survivorship, and she would have survived to your father's share of the residence, regardless of what his will states, as the joint tenancy title is a during life document, whereas a will is an afterlife document, and therefore is not effective against a right of survivorship, as your mother survived to the title to the whole property. Thereafter, she can make out her own will, and direct the will to pass the house to whomever she wants, and no signature is required from anyone.
