Q: sister defrauds my share of late moms house sales (1/3 of40k) sells house without my knowledge
I live in Oklahoma county, oklahoma. I was reading about your personal representative deed. my estranged sister sold my late mothers house without my knowledge or acceptance. I looked up the deed online and it lists a personal representative deed. how is this possible that she was able to sell my mothers, who had no will
also, money from the sale was court ordered to be divided among me and my sisters equally-1/3 each. i was incarcerated at the time and only paid $400 of 13k owed to me. my sister, the "Personal Representative" squandered my inheritance from house-i didn't want to sell anyway! was going to try to buy my sisters out so i can keep that house, but i didn't get that option. please help! I Will be able to pay you, and even more so when i recoup my losses from my sister who committed this fraudulent crime, she makes over 100k a year. Is there any way I can dispute this? sale was completed around late 2017,early 2018.
A: Well first, the house is sold and there is nothing to do about that assuming it was sold to someone not related. As far as your portion of the sale/estate, this would have all been completed during the probate procedure. If your sister did not fulfill her legal obligation then you 'may or may not' have an avenue for compensation, however you will need to sit down with an attorney and go through things in detail to determine your best course of action. Also with statute of limitations, some of which could have elapsed and others which could be approaching, then you need to contact one fairly soon.
