Estate inquiry

Robert W. Hughes
Answered by attorney Robert W. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
It all depends on how the title was originally handled for the home.  If the title with your mom is joint tenants with rights of survivorship, then the home is yours.  If the title is tenants in common, then your mom owns 1/2 of the house still. At her death, the house would belong equally to her spouse and children.  Therefore, if your mom was not married and your sister and you are the only children then each of you would have inherited one-half of your mother's half of the house.  Therefore, you might own 3/4 of the house today and your sister would own ¼ of the house.  Of course, it is not that easy because your mother may have had debts that needed to eb paid off, someone paid for the funeral and that person gets her money back first.  You should consult with a lawyer specializing in probate law to sort this out.

It is nto up the the funeral home to express to you all of hte different optionbs available in teh world.  It is only their job to tell you what they have available.  Even then, they are not legally obligated to even tell you the many options they offer.
