Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
my sister-in-law is trying to make a creditor's claim on real property that she does not legally own and was not provided for in my mother's will.
My mother is leaving her estate to her two living children.
My mother and sister-in-law were the recipients of an ABC extreme home makeover. The home my sister-law lives in was made over but my mom owns the home. My sister-in-law received other items such as a college fund for her kids, cars, furnishings inside the home etc.
Does her claim have any validity?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If your Mother was the only person on title and she passed the real property to her children under a testimentary device, then her sister-in-law should not have any claims. There is a possibility that they entered into some form of agreement when ABC did the makeover, but this would be a claim for damages and not a claim against title,
