Q: My husband, his 3 brothers and his mother own a beach house in the Outer Banks and the deed is structured as joint
tenants with rights of survivorship. We put his part into our estate and now the others are upset. In addition, years ago I was forced by my in-laws to sign a Memorandum of Understanding saying I would have no say in the beach house. Were we wrong to put his part into our trust? Our estate attorney in CO researched it with an associate NC attorney and said it was legal. But at the time I had forgotten about the memorandum.
A:
We both know why the rest of the family is upset...
