Person has deed and abstract to house- without permission. They are not related or family. They are telling people they are getting the house. Children living did not okay this. Home owner has been deceased for 8 years. What can we do to make sure this doesn’t happen?

The value in a deed is in the recording of the deed - not the possession of the deed. You just can't write your name on a recorded deed and take the property. Assuming the deed was properly recorded, the only way to change title is to record a new deed. If any subsequent deed is fraudulent it... View More

The law in Wisconsin requires a probate to be opened in a person's estate is worth more than $50,000.00. Based on your facts, your mother owned a home when she died and had assets totaling $85,000 that need to be distributed. The only way to distribute those assets (regardless if her Will... View More
I want nothing to do with my sister also when dealing with my moms estate. I basically want to erase any obligations i would have it either would pass away.
I'm the PR on the will but I'm not an heir. The person that passes didn't name her child on the will because she did not want her on the will but the heir filed an affidavit. Will she get what she is asking for?
answered on Apr 23, 2018
The Will would need to be filed with the Probate Court in the county where the decedent last resided. The child would then need to challenge the Will and argue to the Court why the Will should not be deemed valid.

Sorry for your loss. His children are his beneficiaries and legal heirs. The children are the ones who would receive your son's assets and belongings.
The mother has a bad case of Alzheimer's.
answered on Apr 23, 2018
Since Mother has Alzheimer's, she should have a financial power of attorney (would need to have been signed prior to the Alzheimer's diagnosis) or a guardian appointed by the courts (if no power of attorney). The person in charge of Mother's money (Power of Attorney or Guardian)... View More
This is in state of wisconsin. Need to sell van. But can not get clean title to van do we need to pay this off first. Or was this his debt?
answered on Apr 23, 2018
The loan was your stepfather's debt, which must be paid using your stepfather's assets (i.e. the van). Since your stepfather passed away, your power of attorney is no longer valid. You probably need to file a probate and obtain Domiciliary Letters to deal with the Quick Title loan.

It is not. In Wisconsin gifted and inherited property is not included as divisible marital property.

Contact an estate attorney in the county where he was living. They can best discuss those issues.

Yes, but they usually don't due to cost as it is a misdemeanor. Try to work it out through an attorney and the DA in Michigan.

Are they sending the bill to you? Sounds like you need to locate a Wisconsin consumer law lawyer to review the letter for you. They shouldn't charge you anything to review the letter, explain your rights, and give you some advice.
answered on Apr 23, 2017
If indeed EVERYTHING is held jointly WITH RIGHTS OF SURVIVORSHIP then no, probate probably isn't needed.
If there is ONE asset not held that way, things get less clear, but there are probably 'expedited' methods available to handle small accounts or assets.

To pass title to any real estate he owned, including the house, you will probably have to go through probate proceedings. If he had no Will his heirs at law will inherit according to the succession laws of his state. If you are the sole heir, you will own it alone. There are many unanswered... View More
