Our Dad passed away without any will and testament. I was informed that our Mom will take her 50% ,and our Dad’s 50% will be divided between my mom, 7 children plus 1 illegitimate daughter. I would like to know if the division is based on the property value ( my parents have 10 properties) or does our mom gets to pick all the prime properties she likes and leave all the ones she doesn’t like? Mom is planning to sell a property or two without my signature or any extrajudicial processes being done, could she still sell the properties? I don’t want to sign because the division is not fair, plus they don’t want to include the illegitimate daughter. What should i do? (the properties are in the Philippines and it’s considered as a conjugal property.

Fred B asked:
My mother died and I need to change the ownership on the deed ( she owned the house free & clear ) of her home into my name because I am not on the deed. The last will and testament clearly states that everything she owned goes to me but does not itemize the house & automobile. My name is already on she bank accounts & CD’s. The title to her car also needs to be changed to my name. I have the will & death certificates.Can this all be done without a lawyer ?

Baron asked:
We have a 395 acres/160 hectares of estate property in the Philippines back in the 1970s, My great great grandmother wanted to give the estate to my great grandfather who is her first child. She had her first child, which is my great grandfather, without marrying, then she decided to get married to a different man and she had two daughters. When my great great grandmother was about to die, her two daughters made a last will testament and made my great great grandmother put her thumb mark on that said last will testament. Now all the properties were transfered to the two daughters and my great grandfather didn’t get any. My great grandfather is dead already and so is his youngest sister, only the other sister is still alive but she is a century old already and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, because of that all her properties are being taken care of the husband of her sister’s daughter. Is there anyway we can get even just parts of the said properties? We don’t want to gain it back just to get rich, we want to have it back because it was the land where all our ancestors had spent their lives. I will be waiting for your reply. Thanks..

Kebark12 asked:
Two days ago, my uncle George died in a car accident. He was moving his great-granddaughter and granddaughter. His daughter Reba was driving (she is fine, although abusing her pain killers).
As soon as possible, Georges other two daughters, Debbie and Bobbie, flew down to his town to be with family and take care of everything.
Now, the granddaughter (who WAS moving) decided that very night that she wants to take his house. And before Debbie and Bobbie could get there, the granddaughter and her mother Reba went through Georges house and took as many valuables, his credit cards, anything they could find. They also took his will and testament. Reba has convinced Bobbie that it would be okay for her daughter to move in, “because she doesn’t want her to carry any guilt”. (might i add that her daughter has many many abusive, alcoholic, druggie boyfriends and she loves to party, hence the reason she was kicked out of her last house)
Debbie is against it, along with the rest of the family, who do not have a say because it is now technically the three daughters’ house.
My question is, does there need to be an attorney to read the will (which Reba won’t show anyone)?
If the granddaughter gets the house, she will take everything. I am not super opinionated about it all, but am just saying it how I see it.
How can the other family, like myself, get involved fairly?
Should there be a mediator (like one of George’s brothers or sisters) who should read it and decide what he would have wanted?
Ugh it is just sad it had to come to this.
Thank you for reading and hope to get some advice.

In small font on the back of my business card it will say this:
Hi, I’m Sandra Martin, here to help you transfer the property title of the home you currently reside in (or care for), giving you legal home ownership. If a deceased home owner (or missing person) leaves no Last Will & Testament, it can be very difficult to put a new person’s name on title to the home. We are a 3rd generation company who have helped tens of thousands of people, just like you, throughout Texas with our combined 135 years of experience.
Please re-word the above part so it sounds more smooth and flow-y, along with it making more sense….?? also…does this make sense??? The person who receives it will get a pretty good idea of what we do, because the people who receive it…are living in a house that their grandma owned, they moved in, and dont pay rent, but live there like home owners, only they do not have legal title to the house…

Sharlene asked:
If a Last Will and Testament is signed after marriage and assigns assets mentioned in a prenuptial agreement as being left with the spouse, which takes presidence?
If a Last Will and Testament is signed after marriage and assigns assets mentioned in a prenuptial agreement as being left with the spouse, which takes presidence?
My wife and I were married in a hurry and we thought it would be prudent to sign a prenuptial agreement. There is no sunset clause in the agreement. I would like to make a Last Will and Testament where I name my wife as the beneficiary of one of my properties named in the prenuptial agreement. If I do so, will it stand or will it be successfully challenged? Should I dissolve the prenuptial agreement? We live in another state than where the prenuptial was signed. Does that make a difference? The prenuptial was never filed with the state, but it was witnessed by a notary and the notary kept a copy for himself.

Oscar asked:
my mom and i inherited some real estate 5 yrs ago from my dad, we are both listed as beneficiary’s on the last will and testament. i recently found out that she wants to sell the house for one dollar to a family in exchange for companionship. I believe these people have other intentions, and have expressed my concerns. My mom insists that its best she continue with the transaction, because these people really “care”. My question is, we are both on the will, and it specifically states that the house should not be sold unless we both sign off on it. Can she still go through with the purchase without my authorization? and is it legal to sell the property to avoid sales tax?
the will was probated, however ,we did not retitle the deed.
