Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

Answered by attorney Evan Kyle Guthrie (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Evan Guthrie Law Firm
In South Carolina a will must be signed by the testator or at his direction. An unsigned will would most likely be invalid.

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

default-avatar
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.

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
It is the Executor's job to make sure the property is safe and secure. That is a good reason to keep it locked up. If you want more access, I would start with talking to the Executor about what you want to do.
