What can I do to know what my mother’s will truly say?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gregory L. Jensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jensen Law Group
Well, a Will is actually a public record that anyone can read and get a copy of. The county where she died as a NV resident is where her Will is filed. If you have her date of death, a death certificate and some identification that you are her daughter, they should be able to provide you a copy of the Will. Also, if the deed listed your sister and sister as joint tenants or gave them ownership of the house but gave you a "life estate" to live in the house, then you have rights to live there. As to the car, the DMV title will tell you the owner. If you mother listed another person as co-owner with her or to receive the car at her death, then you have no right to the car. BUT if the car was left in your mother's name as only owner, then the WILL should identify who gets the car or other items. My advice is go to the county probate court where she died with a death certificate or her date of death and see if they can help you start there.

Will I get charged the capital gain if I sell my house to pay off my siblings to buy my mother's house for which I'm part owner per Mom's Trust?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
Up to $250,000 of the gain from the sale of single person's principal residence is tax-free. For certain married couples filing a joint return, the maximum amount of tax-free gain doubles to $500,000. The exclusion has a detailed set of rules for qualification. Besides the $250,000/$500,000 dollar limitation, the seller must have owned and used the home as his or her principal residence for at least two years out of the five years before the sale or exchange. In most cases, sellers can only take advantage of the provision once during a two-year period. There are other rules that apply if the property was converted to rental property, or investment property; if filing jointly and the one of persons recently used the exemption; if another residence was claimed for the exemption within the five year period

What rights do I have to my husband’s house?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
It depends if he has a Will and upon the value of the assets. It is possible that you may have an interest, it is also possible that you have no interest. You should probably meet with an attorney to address the specifics to determine what if anything you are entitled to. This information is only intended to give general information in response to an inquiry. It does not establish an attorney client relationship. This response is only based upon the limited facts presented and is merely intended to assist you in determining if you should contact an attorney to provide you with legal advice.
