Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
3 names on deed
my mother, father and sister are all on the deed. My mother passed away. Is the house now split between my father and sister or does my father get my mother's share as he is her beneficiary in her will?

Re: 3 names on deed
I would need to review a copy of the deed to give you an answer. However, it's possible that the original deed made your parents and your sister joint owners with your parents owning half and your sister owning the other half as tenants-in-common.
Re: 3 names on deed
it depends on how the three of you were deeded. You could have been joint tenants or tennants in common. The sister may own the house with the father but it depends on the wording in the deed.

This can't be answered withou looking at the Deed... I can answer if you fax or e-mail it to me.
