What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? SC
I'm the personal rep for my father's estate ( basically a home, the land home sits on and car ). So if a creditor comes out of the woodwork, there aren't many options to pay, other than selling the home if it's anything substantial.
Question is around this seemingly strange case. In the Will it states the son gets the real property but it subject to the following condition listed in the will :
This is word for word "the ownership of said residence is subject to Jane Doe having the right to continue to occupy the property, as long as she resides in the state, pays bills,,,,etc...."
This Jane Doe is the Girlfriend of the deceased Father. So as long as she lives in the home, can anything be done to this property, as it's subject to her residency? Seems like it should NOT be part of the estate since it's got this clause on it, or at least it seems as though it couldn't be sold to pay off creditors, as it's subject to the girlfriends residence?
Anyone know about this. Who wins, the Will's wishes, or the Creditor's claim on the property?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
