What is the name of your state? North Carolina
My wife's father passed away 5 years ago and left no will. His second wife, passed away last month. We have reason to believe she left a will although we are not aware of its contents.
My wife's father had 2 children and his second wife had 2 children. My wife's sister was speaking with her step sister today and was informed that the step sister and her brother intend to sell the house and other property. They intend to split any proceeds between the two of them.
I guess our question is fairly simple, do my wife and her sister have any rights to the property? They would like some of the items in the home that belonged to thier father's family and also feel they should have a share of any proceeds from the sale of the home.
Thanks in advance for any advice
