Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland
My father passed away three years ago and indicated on his will that I inherit his property. Is it legal for the legal representative to sell this house in my father's name and with out signature or notification with me
1 Answer from Attorneys
A personal representative must distribute property according to the will. However the law says that certain things must be paid first before the property goes to the heirs. Thus it is possible if taxes, debts, etc. needed to get paid that the house may have needed to be sold. The personal representative does not need other signatures to sell property or sign the deed so long as they have appropriate letters of administration from the court.
A child has a right to get all probate filings and I'd encourage you to look at the accounts and other filings. This post does not create an attorney/client relationship but I hope it helps.
