Best Answer

Your mother's estate must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs. In New Jersey a spouse cannot be disinherited. Your mother's husband may be entitled to a one-third portion of her estate even if she left the real estate to you in her will. You need to discuss the situation with an attorney who specializes in probate law and who can explain your options.

Do you have any rights as an 18-year-old if your mother dies and your stepfather emotionally abuses you and this abuse may be racially motivated?

Emotional abuse can be upsetting, but it's no crime. At 18, you have the right to move out, or you can stay there (if he permits) on his terms. (I'm assuming the house is in his name.)


Does a grandson have a right to live in your mother intestate house?

In most cases, a grandson would not have an automatic right to live in their grandmother's intestate house. The distribution of assets in intestacy is typically determined by the laws of the state, which usually prioritize the deceased person's close relatives in a specific order such as children or spouses. If the grandson is not a direct descendant, he may not have a legal entitlement to the house.

What happens when a stepfather refuses to give family heirlooms to an adult child whose mother has passed?

That depends on several factors. First if there is a will and it gives everything your mother owns (which is quite common) to your stepfather then there is nothing you can do, because he now owns them. If there is no will, the laws of the state probably provide that if a decedent leaves a spouse and children of a predeceased spouse, then all of them have a proportionate share of the estate. In that case both you and your stepfather own each heirloom in whatever proportion the statute specifies. You would have to buy back the heirloom paying him for his pro-rata interest in the value of the items. Unfortunately, this is an all too common situation, which results in things like a mother's diamond ring going to the stepfather who then has the right to sell it or give it away to his own children, if he has any, in his own will.
