Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts
my mother and father put my sister and myself on their house years ago just for convenience. They both passed away in 2008 and we sold the house in August 2009. In the final accounting for the court to close out my mother's estate (she passed away after my Dad) why did the paralegal include this amount? If four people sold a house I do not understand why she included this in my mother's estate. I would think it did not have to be included.

Without knowing how the title was issued to you and your siblings, it is difficult to be able to explain the paralegal's action.
If you all had title and your parents only had a life estate it should not be part of the inventory.
However, if your interest in the property was of a different nature, it might need to be included in the inventory.
