Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Idaho
Estate
My mother passed away leaving no will. She owned a home she was paying on. My neice was living with her at the time. Can my neice continue living in the home as long as she makes the house payment?

Re: Estate
You need to file probate and ask to be appointed personal
representative (PR) who can make arrangements for your
sister to live there and continue making payments and upon
what additional terms may be appropriate.
..........However, she can live there anyway until such time
as the tax people or someone else discovers what is going on and
either stops it by foreclosing, etc. If the mortgagee finds out that
the person they loaned the money to to buy the house
in the first place has passed away, they might go ahead and foreclose on
the house. the safest way is to file for probate of the will
