- Q. Both my parents died 8-9 yrs ago. They left no will & they also left a house. I've lived in the house since.
- A: If you want to be the owner of the house, it sounds like you will need to do probate to transfer the house into your name and any heirs that may be entitled to it. You need to talk to a probate attorney to see how to move forward. Out firm offers free consultations.
- Q. Does your company help with legal advice about probate matters
- A: Yes, our law firm provides free consultations for probate cases.
- Q. My mom died and left the house in my name. I sold it and now want to split the proceeds with my sisters.Do I probate?
- A: You need to talk to a probate attorney. If you sold the house and your name was on the deed, then there is no need to do probate for the house. But if your mom's name was on the deed, you will most likely need to do probate (don't know how you would sell the house if this is the case).
