What happens if the deceased left no will? Does his house and property go to the next of kin? He was a Canadian citizen. He had named his brother as beneficiary and executor of his home in Canada (Edmonton, Alberta). The brother has a copy of the will which is registered with a Commissioner for Oath in Canada. After that the deceased moved to USA for work. He died before he had the chance to register a will for his house he purchased in USA (TEXAS). The company he worked for says there is a company paid life insurance policy in which his brother is named as the beneficiary. The deceased was never married, so did not have a wife or children. His parents are also deceased, so the next of kin would be his brother.
Which government department should the brother contact to get the house transferred in his name? Should he pay the property tax before the end of January? Can he enter his deceased brother's residence or does he need a permission from a government department? There's no one living there now. He went there, saw it from outside but did not go inside. His brother was found deceased in that residence. Any advise would be welcome. Thank you. [email protected]What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
