Can your sister keep you out of your parents house to get your personnal items and can she decide what you are supposed to receive for your share of the inheritance?

Legally, your sister cannot keep you from accessing your personal items in your parents' house. As a co-heir, you are entitled to your share of the inheritance as determined by your parents' will or the intestacy laws of your state. If your sister is acting inappropriately, you may need to seek legal advice to enforce your rights.


Can a friend legally become your sister?

Legally, a friend cannot become your sister. Sisterhood is a relationship defined by family ties through blood, adoption, or sometimes marriage, while friendship is based on personal connection and choice. However, friends can become like family and hold a special bond similar to siblings.


Is my brothers wife an heir to my sisters property?

Your brother's wife is not an heir to your sister's property unless she is named in a will. Your brother might be such an heir if there is no will or if a will does not explicitly exclude him. If your brother dies after your sister died, then his estate would be an heir to her property and his widow, as heir to part of his estate, might receive an interest in your sister's property. Consult an Attorney who specializes in wills and estates. The laws of each state can be different enough that the real answer could be different depending on which state your sister was a resident of when she died.


Your sister has a joint bank account with your father what happens to his half after his death?

Upon your father's death, his half of the joint bank account would typically pass directly to your sister as the surviving account holder. It would not be included in his estate and would not go through probate.


My sister is suing me for half of the house i live in. my father passed away without leaving a will. when he died my sister agreed for me to put house in my name.i did. does she have any right?

If your father died intestate then his property passed to his next of kin according to the laws of intestacy in the state where he lived. If you and your sister were his only next of kin then you each would inherit a half interest in his property both real and personal. However, in order for title to real estate to pass to the heirs his estate must be probated. If you were the court appointed administrator of your father's estate you would need a license from the court to make any changes in the ownership of the real estate. If you obtained a license from the court to transfer the property to your name and your sister assented to that license then it's too late for her to change her mind. However, if the estate was not probated and you had no authority and license to transfer title then all your sister needs to do is petition the court to be appointed administrator of the estate. Any actions you took regarding the transfer of title would be null and void due to your lack of authority. When a person dies and there is real property or solely owned accounts in the estate an attorney who specializes in probate law should be consulted to initiate a probate proceeding. The average person has no background in probate law and errors made by a non-professional can be costly down the road.
