Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
My name was on a home title with a friend, the property belonged to her. She passed, everything was left to my brother, but I never signed off on my half of the house title. Do I still have legal rights to my half of the house on that property, and what can I require from my brother for compensation?

Your question is a bit confusing. If you were on the deed, and it was joint tenants, you are the owner. I don't understand your brother's involvement. Visit me at kliszlaw.com to discuss. Tim Klisz
If you are on the deed as "tenants in common", you own a 1/2 interest in the house. If you are on the deed as "joint tenants" or "joint tenants with full rights of survivorship", you own the whole thing. Feel free to call me at (517) 548-1440 for a free consultation, or visit www.MichiganEstatePlans.com and email me a copy of the deed and I will review it for you.
