What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My wifes parents bought a home in 1997 as a married couple but did not marry until 1998. Father in law died in 2001, Mother in law refinanced house somehow without putting him through probate. Mother in law passed in 2006 left house to my wife. We are trying to sell house, used as collateral in another matter just found out from title agency that the father in law never went through probate. We have to do probate now for father in law. who has claim to the house now Father in law had children from previous marriage. House has 40k owned on it most we have been offered is 50k we owe 18k as collateral, so no benefit to us. Just want the nightmare and huge drain on our wallets to end.
