The business was hers for over 50 years and in her name. Does her second husband get the money or does it have to be divided with heirs or even returned?
The stimulus check is now an asset of your mother's probate estate. It does not have to be returned. The answer to the question of who gets that money depends on a lot of factors such as whether or not your mother had a will and, if she did have a will, what she said in it about the... Read more »

I purchased a property in the land tax sale. I have paid all the taxes up and have my deed. There is a house on the property that was not assessed during the land sale.

Her will stated that the 1 acre of land be put in my name to sell it and distribute the money to the 5 siblings. No other property , no bank account , no insurance , just the land.
