If the beneficiary died after the testator then the gift would become a part of that beneficiary's estate. It would then pass to that beneficiary's heirs under the terms of their will or according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws of your state at the related question link below.
No, unless your mother has died and you have an interest in her property by inheritance.No, unless your mother has died and you have an interest in her property by inheritance.No, unless your mother has died and you have an interest in her property by inheritance.No, unless your mother has died and you have an interest in her property by inheritance.
There are several possibilities. The gift may have been intended for your mother only and not to be passed on to her heirs. Alternatively, the friend's will may name you as your mother's successor beneficiary . However, many wills fail to address the possibility that the named beneficiary may die before the testator. If no successor beneficiary was named then the legacy would lapse and fall into the residuary of the estate. If there is no residuary clause in the will then the legacy will pass as intestate property.
No, but I am making 2 assumptions. I take it that the sister's executor is the mother's beneficiary. I also assume that the mother survived any survivability period that might have been imposed by the will or statute. That being so, the property has vested in the mother, meaning it has become her property now. The only person who can transfer the deceased mother's property is the mother's executor. The correct procedure is for the sister's executor to make an executor's deed to the mother. Then the mother's executor will make a deed to the son. The fact that the mother died before the sister's executor made the deed to his mother does not deprive the mother of the property. The only way the property would not become the mother's is if the will required her to survive the sister by a certain period of time (as many wills do) and she failed to do so. But what happens then creates another problem which I won't go into here. Lastly, as always in probate matters you must check the laws of the state the probate is in.
You need to speak with the attorney who is handling the estate. There are many variables in your situation that must be reviewed by an attorney.The court would need to appoint a new executor. The timing of the death of the beneficiary would dictate where the property will go. If the named beneficiary died prior to the testator then the property will remain in the testator's estate and be distributed as intestate property to the heirs-at-law of the testator. If the beneficary died after the testator died then the property is in the beneficiary's estate. That estate would need to be probated and any intestate property would 'escheat' to the state if there are no heirs-at-law. If the beneficiary has a will, the property would pass according to the will once it has been probated.You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.
A will that transfers real property must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the beneficiary legally. The beneficiary doesn't have to arrange to have a deed in their name, the probate is a public record and can be cited as the legal source of title. If the beneficiary wishes to obtain a deed in their own name that can be accomplished after the estate has been probated. It should be done by the attorney who handled the estate. The beneficiary, as the legal owner, would convey the property to a straw. The straw would convey the property back to the beneficiary and the beneficiary would become the record owner of the property in the land records. This transfer should be done under the supervision of an attorney who specializes in real estate and probate law.
a lot more info needed here, but if you are the beneficiary, that usually means someone died. If you're the only listed beneficiary, and I'm assuming your mother wasn't the decedent, you should be in luck. But, the answer is yes, your mother can sue you for lot's of things. Whether she could win anything, your still going to need counsel.
The new owner of the property or the trust holding the property would need to legally evict the person.
The property will be distributed according to the will. If your father's inheritance from his mother is not addressed in his will, perhaps under a residuary clause, then it will be distrubuted according to intestate distribution in your state.
You need to review the document that created the trust to determine how that transfer must be handled. There should be a provision that directs how to appoint a successor trustee. The property can be transferred by a successor trustee as long as the power to sell or transfer real estate is granted in the trust. If there is no such provision you need to take the matter before a judge in a court of equity. You should contact an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review the trust and explain your options.
Generally, if your mother conveyed her real property to her son before she died and she was legally capable of doing so then the property belongs to him. The other siblings would have no right in or to the property.
Your father's estate must be probated in order for title to his property to pass to his heirs legally. Title to his property will pass according to the laws of intestacy in your state unless he had a will that left the property to his wife. You need to contact an attorney to discuss your options. The wife and children may inherit an interest and the children would then need to convey their interests to your mother if you want her to become the sole owner.
