Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Re: mothers death

Depends on what the Will said to do with the house. If mother died in Ohio and the Will was probated in Ohio, then this is an Ohio question and not one for Indiana.

Re: mothers death

A couple of questions need to be answered in order to answer your questions!

I assume that mom had a will since your question states that your sister was named the executor of mom's estate. If that is true, then the house goes and all of mom's "probate" assets should go to the people named in the will.

I am also assuming that mom owned the house at the time of her death, the house was located in Ohio, and there was not deed that directly transferred the title to your sister or her son upon mom's death.

There are a lot of unanswered questions. I don't think anyone is going to be able to help you much without talking to you directly. If you want to discuss this matter in some detail feel free to call or email your contact information. There is no charge or obligation for a confidential discussion.

Good Luck!!

Re: mothers death

I agree. Unless the home was owned jointly with your sister or TOD or life estate to your sister, the home should have been transferred according to what your mother's will said.

You might want to investigate what the will said, and if the executor did not follow those instructions, file and action in the court.
