Q: I am the heir to my aunts house. My other aunts keep telling me she didn’t have a will and wants me to sign a waiver
My other aunt told me her lawyer will be sending me this waiver because she claims my aunt that passed didnt have a will (but I was there when she created it) and she told me my aunt took a reverse mortgage on the house and the bank was taking it... my aunts house had been paid off since the 60’s. They are keeping as much info as they can and the will away from me. Who can I contact or how to I get past them and their lies.
A: I recommend that you consult with a probate lawyer and have him or her review any documents given to you before you sign anything. Your probate lawyer can investigate the claim of a reverse mortgage and can protect your interest in this estate.
