The house is mortgaged, she bought it for about 70k and really is the only asset she has.

Have your Mom contact a will/estate lawyer and have a will drawn up for her which provides her intent on what she wants to do with her estate, including the house, upon her passing.

The form depends upon the nature of the assets. It may be an assignment. if it is an interest in real property, there should also be a deed. The attorney handling the probate case should be able to help you with the appropriate form.

Yes, but the interest you are giving is still subject to the probate process.

It's likely that this is something going on in his father's estate proceeding. There are a number of reasons that the property is being sold. He should hire an attorney to find out what is going on and to protect his interest.
I am hoping there is a statute of limitations, otherwise, does a probate ever end or is an estate ever really settled if a will can pop up out of nowhere during the life expectancy of the heirs at law for the next 20 - 50 years. Heirs at law spent 1 year probating the estate as intestate and now... View More

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... View More

Yes non-ceremonial marriage is still a valid marriage in oklahoma. You will need an attorney to prove your claim since his brother is clearing out things.

I am sorry for your loss. If the land was titled in his name only, you will have to go through probate. If it was titled in his and your name as joint tenants, you can file an affidavit of termination of joint tenancy (or go through probate if there are other reasons to have his estate probated)....

Sorry for your loss. There is not enough information to fully answer your question. The answer depends upon who died when and who were their heirs. Generally, upon the death of your father-in-law, his property would go to his heirs. That would include his spouse, if any, any living children or... View More

You would be entitled to it if you can show you are the only heir or the only devisee (person who takes under a will) of your gandfather. In order to get marketable title now, granddad's probate would have to be finished with a decree that shows who gets the property, presumably your... View More

In order for good title to be in your name, the probate will have to be completed and the final decree filed in the county clerk's office. 16 O.S. 62 is part of Oklahoma Simplification of Land Titles Act. That Act generally allows a title examiner to rely upon decrees or deeds after they have... View More

Many quiet title suits are merely for cleaning up a title that everyone agrees on. However, some are not. The safest course is to file and entry of appearance and answer to the petition.

It is not likely, but it is theoretically possible. Take the journal to a probate attorney to be reviewed.

I can tell you for certain that your aunt does not take over for your uncle as executor. Executor status is not something that is ever “inherited”.
As to whether the probate case is still open, that would require a review of the case file. Some courts do close cases after a while for... View More

In a very vague answer, anything that is not specified in the will goes to the estate for distribution. If the RV is not listed anywhere, then the RV would pass to your mother as the surviving spouse due to it being marital property. There are always exceptions to the general rules and you should...
