Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada
Grant Deed / No Will
My father passed away 12/26/06. He owned a home, vehicle and $ in the bank. I just got a document from the county recorder showing my father signed a grant deed 10 months before his death, deeding the house/property to my brother upon my father's death. We don't know if there is a recent will, my sister and I thought there was a will showing she and I would share the house 50/50. My brother assures me nothing needs to go into probate because Dad signed this grant deed. How do we find out if there is a will and would a will supersede this document? If there is no will, what happens to the personal property in the house, the vehicle and the money in the bank? My mother passed away in May, 2005. Thank you,

Re: Grant Deed / No Will
Since your dad signed the grant deed before his death, your brother owns the property unless you can show that there was something improper regarding the transfer. The home does not need to be probated due to the deed, but the other property must go through probate.
If you don't know if there was a will, you can file to be the administratrix and subpoena your brother to see if he has a wilL.
