Do I have rights now that he recently passed in January 2017 to my moms home that she owned with her first husband. The stepchildren tried to sell the home and the title company contacted me to say Im the owner which I wasnt aware of the house be on the market. Im so confused.
A: I'm sorry for your loss. Please contact a probate attorney in the proper jurisdiction to obtain further information regarding your rights and any necessary procedures. Most attorneys offer a free consultation and definitely consult with at least two as fees can sometimes vary greatly. If you do not know where to turn, consider the local bar association as they usually have a referral service to assist you in locating counsel. Best wishes.
