What is the name of your state?NY
Im sorry I looked all over the board before I posted this question.. This is a very confusing case....
My father passed without a will.. My father was remarried and had a daughter with my step. I retained a lawyer who sent my step mother a letter asking to produce a will, they call my lawyer to say they have a lawyer and are contacting probate and we should recieve something in the mail shortly.
My fathers name was the only one on the deed/title house. Which is now his estate, he also had a boat which they said they sold this summer for $10,000 and is valued over $35,000, while my father was in the hospital, they said my father said it was ok, but my father was in and out of a coma like state and was on ALOT of heavy drugs. Incuding Morphin. He also had a gun permit and a few hand guns. That they said they gave to his best friend. Which I was under the impression that you could not give or sell guns away because they are titled to my father and if you do not have a gun permit you can not sell them as well.
Also, there is a refinance on the house for $263,000.00. Now my step brother says my step mother is not leaving the house so they will buy us out. Now as fair as I can see it doesnt the first $50,000 of the house go to the Wife, then it is split 1/4 including her in it as well?
Am I responsible for the refinance amount if they are staying in the house? Im not sure if its under just his name or hers as well. If anyone can help with information that would be GREAT!
