Q: If your diecist sister had property in her name from her parents is her widow and children entitled to the land to sale
The widow or kids name are not mentioned in the deed by name. The widow has been living in the house on the property since sister passed. The deed doesn’t say a life estate was left to widow. There was no will either.
A: Obviously the deceased Sister's heirs at law will take as tenants in common.. Hire a competent NC attorney to determine heirship and possibly file an Affidavit of Heirship.
