Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut

Re: My grandfather's house left to me thru a will

Since it appears that the property is situated in Connecticut, you will need to employ a Connecticut attorney in this process.

Please let me know if you would like me to recommend an attorney in that area.

Re: My grandfather's house left to me thru a will

Hello.

You will need an attorney who practices both probate law and real estate law. Your attorney will need to examine the deed that is recorded on the land records, as well as any wills or estate planning documents of your grandfather and his wife, in order to properly determine title to the property. If your grandfather's estate did not go through probate, you would have to probate the estate in order to clear title. From there, it is a straightforward process to sell the property.

At this point, you should contact an attorney who practices these types of law and have him/her review all the relevant documents. Your attorney will let you know what paperwork you need to complete. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

You need a CT attorney who practices both Probate and Real Estate law.

If there is no issue as to your interest in the house, then assuming your grandfather's estate has been closed and the title showing your interest is in your name, then the only remaining issue is how to protect his wife's half interest in the home. So she needs someone who practices elder law in CT.

Good luck.
