Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: inheritance

I would like to see what the Will says as to the ownership of the house.

However, if you own it as tenants-in-common, you are both entitled to occupy the house and share the costs and benefits equally. If your sibling is excluding you from the house, he or she should be responsible for all the costs.

You may want to look into an amicable split, where your sibling buys out your 1/2 interest in the house at market value. Otherwise, you may need to go to court and file a partition action.
