What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
My Father recently died. He didn't not own much. I am his only child. He had one brother and one sister as the only other close relatives. He was not married. My mother and him divorced in the 70's.
He passed away in Oregon. He owned a farm place with some acreage in ("common" term on the land title) with his brother and sister. The farm place is in Minnesota.
My uncle (my Dad's brother) who has been living on the farm, has found out that it needs to go through probate to give my Dad's portion (which is about 40%) to me. This is what my Uncle and Aunt want also...there is no arguement on this. My questions are basically, where do I start? What needs to be done? He did not really own anything in Oregon.
Why do I have to go thru Probate when, I am an only child and this is what the other land owners (Uncle and Aunt) want also? Ugh
Any help appreciated!
