family friend died..I rent his home...a car he owns is in my driveway....what do i do about all this.
I was related by marriage to this guy...he was a deputy sheriff. I live in one of his houses that he used to live in. 35yrs i have been here. My husband and i were buying it---starting in 84...we divorced after 20yrs and my ex talked him into having me rent. Buying the home was 875mo..renting was 750...started to rent in 97. Mel--the guy who died..put the rent up to 800 in 2005. I always told him i would of stayed buying it anyway...he loved me and my daughter like family, always made sure we were safe, etc. Found out he passed 5/21/18...72yrs old. Now what? they said he had a 1/2 brother---i never knew...and that he left everything to him....i dont know if thats true. I believe mel left me this house..he knows I am never leaving and thats what he wanted. Have not heard a word from this brother...found out he lives in WA. I mailed my may and june rent to mels home in san dimasbut he is not there anymore but I dont know what to do now? I heard you need to keep paying rent or you would be in default...mel's wishes I KNOW were that i stay here til i die.....how can i see the will? nothing has been filed, we checked online....what is his brother doing? i dont know his name or who he is!! i also have 1 of his many cars parked at m y house as he had many and needed parking spots He has 8 rentals in NV and had I think 2 homes there for himself.....has property in NV and Calif...he has so much still going on!!!! I know he had a will---he was diligent about that..never asked him what happ if he passed Do i keep sending my rent to a house where there is no one? I drove by and his 3 cars are in the driveway..thats it! what do i do with this car? drop it at his house? i live in calif. Do i keep sending rent to a person who has passed? I want to see the will......will i be sent a copy?? Do i just wait and see what happens? I am not leaving this house....35yrs here and Mel knew....he always said "I know its your house, I know you are not leaving"....house needs so much work but I never asked mel to do anything...he did minor repairs but i never wanted to ask him to do anything....the paint is 35yrs old as is the carpets, the stove/oven is 63yrs old...mel bought me 2yrs ago a new DW, W&Dryer and sink combo....he made sure the toilet always worked etc...yes it needs so much work...but its my little home and I love it and he knew that...I am positive he put that in his will that the home is mine...can someone help me----where do I start...what do i do???? do i need to go talk to a lawyer...i am so confused.
