Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Wills & Probate

I have a very confusing situation. My fiance and I live on his family's land. We looked up who's name the land is in (just curious) and found out it is still in his grandfather's name who passed away several years ago. His grandfather supposedly has a will but we do not know where it is. His dad and aunt were supposed to split the land by the county (part is in one county other in another). None of this has been done. What is the best thing to do about our house being on this land? Do we need to talk to his grandmother about deeding us the part of land we live on? We do not pay rent to anyone for the land our trailer is on. His dad and sister also live on this land next to us. His grandmother lives across the road. Do we need to just get a lawyer?

Re: Wills & Probate

Yes, a lawyer will be required in this case, preferably one with extensive probate experience in the county where the land is located. Call your local bar association, courthouse or go to www.NAELA.org for names. Good luck. William G. Nolan www.NolanElderLaw.com
