My dad passed away in Alabama and named me as executor. He had a will that named my brother and I as 100% beneficiaries but he got remarried last year and thought he was protected because he had a will. He failed to update will to include new wife or get a prenup... sigh. (I know the new wife will be wanting an interest even though she has not filed anything as of yet to contest the will)
Can I proceed as planned to liquidate the estate (and personal residence) even though his current wife still lives in the home? The home is in his name only, acquired before new marriage - No life estate deed. The home was originally in my parents name WITHOUT joint right of survivorship but I think we ignorantly signed our interest over to our dad when my mom passed away. (I am trying to check on that for confirmation)
Thanks for your time!
