Do I have the right to change the locks?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Actually, a tough question, and not all the facts needed to answer are in your post. In almost all cases, you are better off not owning real property jointly with your siblings. It will blow your family up, if it hasn't already. Sell the house, take the cash, find somewhere to live. Usually, you're not allowed to exclude co-owners from the property. At least, get a written agreement with them allowing you to stay there, and guaranteeing you peaceful enjoyment of the place. Finally, do not spend any money on improvements; if you build a deck or add on or something, you'll never recover the money spent and your siblings will take their share smiling.

Who will inherit the deceased siblings portion from a mother's will?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
You must look first to the Will of your Mother to read how the death of a beneficiary is to be handled. So start there and then consult with an attorney specializing in estate administration for further assistance.

Can I just destroy an old will and make it invalid?

Yes, you can destroy the old will. Be sure to shred it and any copies completely after you draft a new one. Also, it?s not necessarily a good idea to keep your will in a safety deposit box because, after your death, no one will be able to access it without a court order requiring the bank to give a designated person access.
