What are my rights in my grandfather's will if my uncle decides to sell the house?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
First it is important to determine how the property was titled at the time of your grandfather's death. If it was in joint tenancy with your uncle, or your uncle was a Pay on Death beneficiary it would pass to him by operation of law regardless of what the Will says. If the asset was only in your grandfather's name then it would be necessary to go through probate. If it is/went through probate you should receive notice of the petitions, etc. You should probably review the title information available on line for the county where the property is located and determine the ownership status and history. You may want to seek legal counsel to address the specifics of your situation.

How do I get power of attorney for my parents?

Estate Planning lawyer at Broad Law Firm, LLC
In Indiana, a power of attorney is a simple document that most any lawyer can likely draft for you for a flat rate. I would suggest you contact a local estate planning attorney and put them in touch with your parents. They can also discuss their will with that attorney at that time.
