Is it illegal to occupy a house that is in probate?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Are you paying rent? Do you have a lease? Absent either you have no right to remain. It is up to the Court appointed representative to decide if you can remain. There may be issues with insurance, selling the home, etc. so even if it is not illegal, if may be in the estate's best interest for you to vacate and on an estate that is what matters. If she had a Will and gave you a right to remain there, my answer might change. You should meet with an attorney where your mother lived. These types of matters will usually require a retainer. If you cannot afford an attorney and are in Las Vegas you may want to apply for a pro bono attorney through Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada.
