Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kansas

no will no probate

living in a house that is being rented out to us. Found out that the person renting out does not have a claim to house, but the only to children are willling to sign house over to us. What do we do when they did not probate his estate back in 2000? The house is worth only $7,400.00. Is there anyway to not have to go through probate, and how can the two children sign the house over to us when they are not even asking for any money for it? How can we stop the people who where renting us the house from beating us to the punch of getting the house in our name. The taxes have been paid up and the house needs alot of work. We are willing to take on the house knowing this, what would be our first, second, and third step in this process with only a little of money and little time to use on this issue. Is there a chance where the it is too late to go through probate court with the father's estate?

Re: no will no probate

1. Gather what funds you can get.

2. Hire a competent attorney to handle the transfer for you, (you'll pay and lose a lot more if you botch it yourself) They may even be able to do it where you can stop paying rent now.

3. Pay that attorney and pressure them to meet your timeline as best they can.

Good Luck
