Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Trinidad and Tobago
HI, my grandparents and my mother all names are on the house that me and my sister occupy now. My grandfather took off his name and put my sister's name on it. My grandparents and my mother are now deceased, my mother passed in 2010 and she didn't leave a will or anything, which i know she wanted to. My aunts and uncles are saying that the house doesn't all belong to my sister, I want to know if this is true?

Legal title in land (property) is vested by registered Deeds, Certificates of Title or by device in Will or by entitlement in law by the Administration of Estate Act Ch 9:01 of the revised laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The instrument you claim vest the title in your sister (Deed or Certificate of Title) can be perused by any Attorney-at-Law to determine if your sister is the or one of the title holder. It is that simple.
If your sister does no have a legal title, the Deed/CT will reveal who are the owner(s) of the property.
It is only in determining who are the owner(s) any further issue arises. If the owner is deceased then the issue of Wills/Probate of Letters of Administration arises. The answer is in the Deed or Certificate of Title.
