What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Lousiana
My Grandmother has recently passed away. The will stated the estate go to the 4 children. My mother (1 of the 4 children) died several years ago, so the family has told me that I am 1/4 owner of the house and property. But, they told me that under Lousiana Law, only the property is given to next of kin, not the money. The 3 of them did receive an unknown amount of money from a life insurance and money market account. Am I entitled to any of this?
My uncle is demanding that I pay 1/4 of the bill for recent repairs to the house. I was not made aware of these expenses until now. I live 18 hours away and never use the home. He uses it every weekend. Do I have to pay this bill.
Also, can I force/ask the remaining 3 people to buy me out of the estate?
