What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My cousin was left a life estate by our Aunt (who had no children). The remainder - the 10 first cousins receive the estate or house and land after her death. A lawyer told my cousin and my sister that the 10 of us are responsible for the taxes, insurance and upkeep of the house while my cousin is living there. We were under the impression according to our aunt, our cousin was to keep us the house while he lived there. Anyone know?
