Q: My Dad died yrs ago.My Mom died 11-07-17 she had some money and 9 acres and it’s just me and my sister my Mom didn’t
Make a will she wanted me and my sister to half everything would that be the right way?
A: Given your mother died without a will you will likely want to contact an attorney about setting up an estate. The estate will be able to deal with your mother's assets and move the property interest to the heirs. It sounds like you and your sister would be the heirs at law if your mother was not married at the time of her death and you are the only children.
