Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: estate

If the Deed was in both names when she died, you automatically inherited it. I do not know why you need to be bonded, unless he is talking about a potential inheritance tax due to the value of your mother's 1/2 interest. More facts are needed about the current status of the Deed and how the Deed read on your mother's date of death, plus the market value of the house on her date of death. Also, did your mother leave a Will? Even if you say she had nothing else did she own a car, have furniture and/or furnishings where she lived, or have jewelry or anything else of value? You can contact me directly with this information and I will respond to your question.
