Mother and daughters name is on the deed for the house Mother passes away There is one other living son Does he get anything at all from the house?

Answer 1

The title should automatically pass to you if you acquired the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, as the surviving owner. You should record a copy of the death certificate in the land records to clear the title.

Answer 2

Daughter will get the house if they own as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. You must check the deed that transferred the property to them and make certain the proper tenancy was recited in the deed. If it was the full ownership of the property will pass to daughter automatically and there will be no need for probate as long as mother has no other solely owned property such as life isurance or bank accounts.

Answer 3

That depends on the tenancy in the deed. If joint tenants, the daughter is the sole owner and the estate would not need to be probated in order to pass title to the real estate. If tenants in common the brother would inherit one-hlf of his mother's one-half or one-quarter, and the estate would need to be probated in order for mother's interest to pass to her children. Check the tenancy on the deed.

Son would also be entitled to half of his mother's personal property, including bank accounts in her name alone
