Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama
My Mother's Will
My mother passed away leaving her house and property to my bro & me jointly, my sis having had her portion already deeded to her. Contents of the house & other assets were to be divided between the 3 kids. But, prior to her death a large part of the land was sold to pay expenses. Is the money from the sale now to be divided 3 ways, or just between my bro and me since it was land that we would have inherited? What do we need to do now?

Re: My Mother's Will
Depends on what her Will says. It could go either way. Since you are midway between Gadsden and Anniston, there are a lot of lawyers to choose from. Contact a Probate lawyer and pay him/her for an hour of time to get the answer you deserve. It will be money well-spent. Why risk some offhand answer online when there is much to lose if the answer is wrong? The will determines how the money will be divided. Take it with you.
