Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
My husband passed away in February 2010 (We reside in Louisiana). Approximately 2 years before his death, his mother (residing in Virginia) deeded her residence into her 5 children's names, my deceased husband being one of them. Recently I was contacted by one of my deceased husbands siblings to inform me that they were having a new deed drawn up to remove my Husband's name and needed me to sign it. I am concerned as my Husband and I have two son's whom I feel should be added to the deed or be entitled to their father's portion of their grand mother's estate at her death. Am I correct as I am not familiar with VA Law.

You should not sign unless you or your sons receive proper compensation for his interest in the residence. In fact, just signing away that interest would frustrate your mother-in-law's expressed intent when she deeded the property to all of her children.
