Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
A very tough question, which can't really be answered on a website. The will does not "speak" until your aunt passes away. First question is, is your aunt still competent? If yes, it is her call which house gets sold. If no, and you are acting under power of attorney, it gets complicated; you need to respect her estate plan, but that will not be easy to do. In that case, you need a lawyer to work through this so you do not end up with liability to a nephew who loses out.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

If you are listed as beneficiary on your spouse's life insurance and it is payable directly to you upon his death, it will not be included as part of his estate and creditors shouldn't be able to get to it.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
In order to deal with real estate of a decedent you must open a probate case and have the court appointed representative deed the property. It may be possible to work with a title insurance company and insure over the title defect with the filing of a death certificate, an affidavit of heir-ship and a deed signed by all heirs. There is likely to be an additional endorsement fee beyond the usual charges and a personal undertaking (indemnification) that the heirs must sign. This will not cure the title defect but it may induce the title company to assume the risks if they are comfortable with the heir-ship proof.
