What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
my husbands mother died 10 years ago, with no will. there are 3 sons and her husband (their stepfather) . the sons walked away then and the stepfather has kept the house. he is now in his 80's and now wants them to sign to go to probate and make him the administrator of the estate so he can sell the house. the sons walked away 10 years ago and don't want any involvement- as far as they are concerned the state can take the house. can they be forced to inherit it and pay inheritance taxes?
