What are next steps or if I will be able to keep the house if both of my parents are deceased and the house is mortgage free?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
It is difficult to predict from the information which you have provided, but generally, if your mother was the surviving spouse on a jointly owned residence, then that residence becomes part of her estate and is subject to the obligations incurred during her lifetime, including medical expenses. I would suggest you confer with an attorney.

How to obtain a copy of a will if the person is still alive?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You are not entitled to a copy of the will during your mother's lifetime. That said if you feel your sister is taking advantage of your mother you can get a conservatorship in court.
