What is the name of your state? New York
I have a situation that I posted previously in the "wills and trusts" section, but due to new events I think it falls under this section now. My fathers mother is deceased (she had no will) as well as my father....uncle wants to transfer his name to deed (house is paid for) so that he can sell it and move back to Illinois. Since my Dad is deceased, uncle was told that he needs everyones signature for this to be done (relinquish our rights) Well, me and my two brothers do not wish to do this if there is some chance that we can receive our part of the money from the estate. I have many people telling me that the uncle should buy us out if he wants the signatures. I do have a lawyer that I am meeting with next week so he can look over paperwork. I have a few questions....is there such a thing as a buy out and what amount would that even be? There are also 8 other uncles/aunts that he wants their signatures from as well...question there would be do we have to split any money we would get from a "buy out" with them? I understand that once house is sold there would be splitting of the money....but in a buy out I dont know. Any sheading of light on this matter would be nice,,,,until I see my lawyer next week I am very curious.
