Re: mothers home

I would say try to get a lawyer to file an action to divide the estate depending on what the will states of course. The rental income at least may go to you or have them sell the property or get a mortgage to but you out---if you get a lump sum together for a consult and/or to file for you, there may a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and it's unfair to make you wait if the will did not contain a provision that the two may live there as long as they wish or the like. There are many questions whose answers might help establish your access to a court's powers. If you are close to South Jersey, call or email me the facts (as suggested by the Philadelphia lawyer), I would need similar information for an evaluation of the case .

Re: mothers home

Was the will Probated? Who is the Executor? You are entitled to an accounting of the rental income and the rest of her estate. The only way to get your share of the house is to file a Partition case with the Court. They will either buy out your share or the house will be sold. You should talk to an attorney as soon as possible.
