To transfer property in Mississippi from an Administratrix Deed after someone's death with the judge's orders, you typically need to use a Quitclaim Deed or a Warranty Deed, depending on the circumstances.
First, ensure that you've filed the Affidavit of Heirship as required... View More

Policyholder and insurance carrier can contract either way. But the remainderman is the one potentially loosing the house itself. Life tenants lose use and probably personal property. Usually life tenants pay for policy which insures both estate holders.

A judge has the discretion to consider various factors when deciding whether to grant conservatorship, including the potential conservator's circumstances and qualifications. While having a medical marijuana card may be a factor that the judge takes into account, it does not automatically... View More

Uncle never went and did anything to have the house put in his name other than the warranty deed grandmother did. What do I do now? I am the only one named... View More

If the Will is not filed for Probate then Uncle's Heirs own the property as tenants in common. If you and the niece are the only heirs, then you might get her to deed her interest to you, with a derivation clause describing heirship. Whatever you do, hire a competent MS to search the... View More

When your husband sells the home, the home equity line of credit will need to be paid off in order to pass free and clear title to the buyer. Yes, the gift of half of the proceeds to your husband's brother would be a taxable gift to the extent in excess of $17,000. However, there is a... View More

Hire a competent MS attorney to search the title and determine ownership. You might own an interest as an heir or she may own the fee. If so, you may want to make a cash offer for her to deed the property to you.
How do I become authorized to file on his behalf and how long does the process take?

Consult with a MS attorney. But there is a good chance the SOL has already run on any cause of action your Father had at death.
I like to know can they make decisions without the other next of kin opinions on it because I’m dealing with that now. Selling and taking possession of everything and the judge just rulings on everything they ask for and we don’t know nothing until I go to the courthouse and ask for copies of... View More

Generally, the administrator must sell everything in order to generate cash to pay creditors and to divide the assets to distribute equally and fairly between the heirs.
Currently there are 3 siblings, we agree to have the land placed in the youngest name. However, now we need to know how to have the property in all of ours name in case she gets married.

Apparently the heirs have not come to an agreement. Hire a MS attorney to search the title, determine heirship, and either draft a deed according to your wishes or sell the property.
My father inherited 10.13 acres of land from his parents through a reserved life estate and my sister and I were to inherit the land after his death but instead without our knowledge he sold it to his sister. What rights do I have at this point and what should I do, is what he done even legal in... View More

Were you and your sister the remaindermen on his Deed? If not, then you probably had no title interest in the land. A promise to Will Devise is not enforceable.

I think that you have the title a little mixed up. Hire a MS attorney to search the title and then advise you of the status. He probably can sell his estate in the land.

You probably need to move the Court to award you administrative and/or fiduciary fees as the executor. It will require an affidavit of services rendered and a request that the Court order it out of Estate assets. It is not a commission. Hire a MS attorney to do this.

Hire a MS attorney to search the land title and determine ownership as you have not stated the important terms of the Deed. She can probably sell the vehicles.

No, and Federal Law targets LE/REM conveyances that are less than 5 years old. Hire a competent MS attorney to explore asset protection. Possibly Mother intends to return or never leave her home.
She had 2 life insurance policies naming me as the only beneficiary. She also had joint checking account with me. I have received 3 checks since her death made out to her estate (the checks were for reimbursement of some insurance premiums). Bank says I need to open an estate account & deposit... View More

No, you can complete a small estate affidavit and present that to the bank.
Mother died without will in MS. One of 9 heirs was unwilling to compromise on division of land and assets, Heirs hired an attorney but courts appointed a non family administrator. What will the attorney use our money for if there is an administrator.

Mississippi requires a lawyer to draft and file all of the necessary pleadings with the chancery court.

You do not have a right to any type of certain deed conveyance. You can make a motion in the Probate Case, or an action against the Trustee, for a better distribution of Trust Assets, but you will probably lose. Hire a MS attorney to advise you of what to do, but I think you will find that her... View More

This does not sound at all like you are being played. When a person dies, everything he or she owned in his or her individual name (with no beneficiary designations) must go through a legal process called probate in order to get those things transferred to the intestate heirs (no will) or...

You should file a objection with the Court and inform the Court what is going on. There is no reason for the beneficiary to be homeless if there is a house that has been left to him. You can get a copy of the Will from the courthouse. Go to the Chancery Clerk’s office in the county where your ex... View More
