What I can do in order to get her to give me the deed so I can get insurance and proceed with my life?

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
If your sister is required to transfer the property to you pursuant to the terms of the trust and refuses to do so, your remedy is to petition the probate court in the county where the property is located to order the distribution. Before doing that, however, I would hire an attorney to write a letter to your sister that requests the transfer of the property. This may cost you several hundred dollars, but it will definitely get your sister's attention and quite possibly the transfer that you seek. The attorney will need to see a copy of the trust, so be sure you have one. If you don't, you can request one from your sister (and if your sister will not give it to you, the lawyer will certainly request it in his or her letter).

Would a civil suit settlement for a deceased person go into their estate to be divided among remaining heirs?

Depends on whether the suit is settled and money is paid prior to the person's death, or whether a personal representative is appointed to carry on the suit.
