Q: My name is on the Deed after both Parents deaths. Can my estranged Sister do anything?
My Dad also made a will where I am the executor and he disinherited my Sister and left her $1. Can she do anything? Grandsons'?? House and car paid off.
A: She could potentially claim that the arrangement by which she was disinherited was caused by your undue influence over your parents, but generally, under Michigan law, a person can create an estate plan which prevents a son or daughter from receiving any property upon the parent's death. I hope that this answers your question, but if you have further questions you should consult with an attorney.
A: Generally speaking, the documents should be reviewed by an attorney. What other promises were made by father before death. Are documents valid, etc. Can you contest, etc. Such concerns should be addressed by an attorney face to face with your documents in hand.
