What can be done if my father passed with two homes and the step mother got both?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
You should talk to a local probate attorney. Your father's unsigned will is not effective. Your mother's will may make a difference, but what does it say? If it leaves the house to your father, then her will does not help you. You need to find out whether her will leaves the property to you and your sister. Also, be aware that if the property was deeded to your mother as "joint tenants", then it would automatically go to the other joint tenant when she died. In that case, her will does not affect who gets the property.?
