Unattached 50 acres were automatically deeded to my husband and his sister. He had a mortgage.

She says that it has to go... Read more »

Your statements do not make sense. However a possible solution is have an AL attorney search the title, and draft a Quit Claim Deed for the one or two tracts to be conveyed from the Sister to your Husband. Sister would not have any financial or legal obligations.

If your grandmother gave you a piece of land, even if it was not included in her will, then legally you would have a claim to that land. However, if the property was sold without your knowledge or consent, you may need to take legal action to assert your rights to the property.

You probably want an AL attorney to draft an enforceable Life Estate/Remainder Deed.
This is in reference to a surviving spouse of a decedent who was domiciled in Alabama, but the spouse only lived in Alabama for 5 months of 2022, and the spouse moved out of state 6 months before the person died in Nov 2022. Is the surviving spouse entitled to this homestead allowance?
answered on Mar 17, 2023
The $15,000 homestead allowance is deducted from the appraised value of the homestead before calculating the taxes owed.
The surviving spouse is entitled to this property tax allowance if the decedent was domiciled in Arkansas.

Disagreement on the division of the property?
answered on Jan 31, 2023
The terms of the trust itself will address the division of the property and the Trustee is the individual or entity in charge of carrying out those wishes. Those facts will address how the situation may be resolved.
However, you may want to consider some form of alternative dispute... Read more »

An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for the loss of your husband and the concealment of the terms of the policy. This is posted under Bad Faith, but attorneys who practice in the Probate and Estate Planning categories might be a better... Read more »

An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. If this is about a personal injury case (the originally posted category) that involves an estate, you may want to add "Estate Planning" and "Probate" to your categories. Good luck

If you are a Next of Kin or Heir, and there are sufficient assets, then you might consider administrating the Estate as Intestate. Then there may be distributions, or you might file your own Claim. Hire a competent AL attorney.

I assume that there's an attorney involved with your mother's estate? if so, speak to that attorney. if you have issues with him, then consult with another probate attorney and seek what is recommended.
They are one time shared the same address but she had recently moved out and in with her mother. Now she's claiming they were back together. And that everything is hers. What is my rights?
answered on Jun 3, 2022
If you son did not have a will, then chances are you and his father (if living) are the sole heirs of his estate. If your son had a will, then the heirs are whomever he said they are. You should contact a probate attorney for help with this before all of the assets disappear and are unrecoverable.
