Is it illegal to occupy a house that is in probate?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Not necessarily. If there is a will, and all beneficiaries to the house agree, then you can stay in the house, pursuant to their agreement. If there is no will, and the heirs at law all agree, then you can stay in the house, per their agreement. If you are an heir or beneficiary, who gets a share of the house (either by will or intestacy, as the case may be), then you have rights to your share of the estate property, as of the date of death. Get yourself a lawyer, now.

What do I have to do to sell my deceased mother's property when she was the only one listed on the deed?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
You will need to open probate and then you transfer the property via a personal representative?s deed. There are some other documents the title company will require for the sale and some other hoops to jump through. We can assist you with this if needed. We work on an hourly fee or often on a flat fee in probate cases.

Does my wife have any rights to the house that my father left me in his will?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
No. It appears you have a life estate interest in the property. That means there is no property interest that would survive your death. However, if you want to be sure about the answer, you should consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in estates and estate planning.
