Q: Hello my parents passed away with no will me and my brother were their only children while my brother was alive hired a
An attorney to start probate but during probabte and not final yet my brother passed away. House is still in my parents name who gets the house now? My brother and parents had no will. My brother leaves behind a wife that they haven't been as husband and wife for 15 years and 2 children.
A:
You should contact the probate attorney that was helping you or your brother handle this probate matter. He or she should be able to help you. If you don't have a probate attorney, now would be a really good time to hire one, because now you have two probates to manage.
It is not possible to answer your question without a lot more information, including exactly how the house was titled ("in your parents' names" is not sufficient information), whether your brother had a will, whether your brother was married and whether he had children, and much more.
