Quit Deed & Will

[mac42253]

What is the name of your state? California
will left house to 4 heirs-because of fathers bad health, we refinanced for $150k,
quit deeded house to 1 heir, paid off debts.father died leaving $100k in joint acct
of father & heir. Heir has control of deed & control of cash, & has spent a large
amount to date. Will clearly states everything to be split equally.do i have a
prayer of getting my share

Sorry, but no. The will has no control on or effect on the bank account, which is a separate business matter--that money goes directly to the account co-owner.

Why was the home "quit deeded", as you say, to the heir?

Are there any other assets in the estate?

my dads VISA to square all his debts (supposedly to qualify for loan)I was told
that because of my fathers fixed income & bad health he needed a second
person on the deed(#1 also took $30,000.00 off the top to pay off his
other house) to qualify
