Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kentucky

Re: Surprise will

The will controls if no newer will surfaces. (1) daughter has no recourse-the property goes as the will directs. (2)The real estate upon which the "man's" house is built also goes as the ewill directs. The house belongs to the "man"-now the problem is how to separate. I would think that the "man" would have to buy the real estate (less his 1/3 interest) upon which the house stands. Of course, he could always trade that for his interest in other parts of the property if everybody else agrees. The "man" may also have a claim against the estate for the expenses of his mother. You have little choice but to consult local counsel here. There is too much at stake and whoever is going to lead you through this is going to have to go over all of the information. There are also provisions that one joint owner can force the sale of the whole at public auction and then bid the whole thing in at the sale. The only advice that you can count on here is go consult local counsel.
