Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Virginia

Re: estate

As most things legal, it depends... If the house is owned in joint tenancy, then the mother would own it 100% without probating the estate. If the house was owned as Tenants in Common, then the 67% share that the boys owned would need to be resolved in Probate. If the boys left no children, and assuming they left no debts then their ownership share of the house would go to their parents in equal shares. It's then possible that the mother and father would get half of the 67%, so the Mother would own 67% and the father 33% at tenants in common. But every situation is different. You need to discuss this with an attorney.
