Q: My adult children's father passed,away in carrollton va. fathers name & live in girlfriend is on estate.
Are his biological children intitled to his portion of the home, as the girlfriend recently had her name added to the home, and is selling it. The father told me the kids were taken care of, but he passed away & the live in girlfriend
Is saying she knows nothing about that.
He's adult children don't know if he had a will. The father may have made the girlfriend beneficiary don't know. As she's being vague. They were not married, an had no biological children together. The girlfriend has a adult child from her previous marriage.
A: Someone needs to pay for a legal consultation and potentially an investigation before the house is sold. You need a title search and a court record search for a Will.
