Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
My mother died May 26, 2010, and she has 4 children ages 40-60 and she did not leave a will. Her husband died April 5, 2008 and has 2 children ages 40-60. My mother never had her name added to the deed to their house and the only name on the deed to the house is my mother's husband. My mother and stepfather were residents of "Detroit Michigan". I live in Alexandria, Virginia. My stepfather's children live in Detroit too. There is only 1 of my mother's children still residing in Detroit.
I have an aunt who is causing trouble, so I decided to get some legal advice via online.
Thank you.

Please tell me what's the "trouble" as you describe it. Visit me at www.kliszlaw.com for a free phone consultation on the issue. Thanks, Tim Klisz
You may need to start a probate estate for your mother. Once you open the estate and either you or your sibling are appointed personal representative, then that person will be in charge of your mother's assets. Your mother's assets may include the house despite her husband's name being on the deed. I have a few out of state clients that I have opened estates for in the past. Please contact me @ johntatone.com to discuss in further detail. The quicker action is taken, the more likely I will be able to protect your mother's assets.
