What can I do to prevent my mother's husband from acquiring her house?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
If your mother and her husband agree, they can retitle the property and provide in her will or trust for it to go the way she wants. If they don't agree, your mother can sever the joint tenancy (assuming it is in joint tenancy) by deed. Her husband then would have only half ownership of the property after your mother's death.

My father who passed away in October,2020 left me a property in Puerto Rico vía a notarized letter. Do I legally have ownership rights to this proper.

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Please show the notarized letter to a probate attorney who practices in Puerto Rico to learn whether it might qualify as a Will and be admitted to probate (proving that it is the Will of the deceased person).
