Q: my grandparents left my uncle and mother property in NH. My mother recently passed away and I have a court date that m
he wants me to have no rights. i'm not on the will but guess have rights to half the property. is that true
A: There is not enough information to truly answer your question other than to say that the Will is an important instrument which could well address the issue of the interest in real estate and it is also unclear where your mother was a resident- Massachusetts? New Hampshire? as the State of her residence would address issues involving her estate. Also if your mother was a tenant in common with uncle this is a different situation from being a joint tenant which depends on survivorship. Lastly, but not less importantly, you have also indicated there is some upcoming Court date. You should contact counsel ASAP to address this proceeding.
