You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law.
Your husband's estate must be probated wherever he owned property in his own name. If he owned property in Indiana and Missouri, the initial probate would be filed in his usual place of residence which may be Indiana. If he also owned property in Missouri, you would need to file an ancillary probate in Missouri.
No. In all states, the property cannot be taken if it was purchased before the marriage.
If a person gives away property while still living then it is not part of their estate at their time of death. The only property that can pass by a will is the property owned by the decedent at the time of death.
That would mean the decedent owned property in her own name when she died, made a will before she died and she devised (left) all her property to her husband in her will. He inherited everything.
If the sister-in-law is the wife of the deceased husband and the property was signed over to him before his death, then she may have an interest in it that give her a right to seek possession of it. If the sister-in-law is the sister of the husband who is now deceased, then the specifics of the property transfer and of the husband's will, among other things will determine whether she has any rights to the property. Consult a lawyer who is licensed to practice where the property is located.
Yes. The liens are attached to the property. You should insist that the liens be paid before the transfer.
If a husband conveyed his individually owned property to his brother before he died, his widow has no rights in that property unless she lives in a community property state. In that case she should consult with an attorney.
No. Your husband has no obligations or liability regarding your mortgage.
If the person leaving the remainder died before the spouse, it is a part of their estate and will get distributed per the will or the law.
LENI Lenape !
The possessions belong to the parents. They actually belonged to the parents before their death.
I know in my state, Louisiana, that would be considered an inheritance, and therefore, not community property. So, no, your husband would have no claim to it.But you need to check the inheritance laws of your state.In the USIn the United States a woman is allowed to own property in her own right. Her husband has no control over property she inherits. That sort of practice went out with the Married Women's Property Acts beginning in the nineteenth century which were originally designed to protect their property from their husband's creditors. In a community property state generally, a spouse's separate property consists of property the spouse owned before marriage or acquired by gift or inheritance during the marriage.
The estate of the deceased. * An exception in some cases, would be the surviving spouse when the couple resided in a community property state.
