What happens when someone dies, there is no will, and 1 descendant is living in the home?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
If we are talking about homestead property (principal residence) and no spouse, then upon death the house goes to the children. Living there carries no greater rights (if both children are adults). If one is living there and that is not acceptable to the other, I would suggest one buy out the other. If he/she refuses, the other child can force a partition sale (similar to a foreclosure sale) where the property is sold judicially and the proceeds divided.

My mother passe away around 4 years ago and I am the trustee, I want to buy out my sister, is the home price based on today' or at the time of death?

Answered by attorney Timothy C. Felice

The value of the house would be determined at the time of the sale, not at the time of the death. I suggest negotiating with your sister and come to an agreement on the price. Timothy C. Felice, Esq. Felice Trial Attorneys 561-444-8822 InjuryTrialAttorneys.com

Could he, as a third party, delay the proceedings with a caveat or lawsuit if he believed he was entitled to compensation from the deceased?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
In Michigan, there is no Caveat procedure. If he was due something from the decedent, he could file a claim against the estate. The Personal Representative would then need to either accept or deny the claim. If the claim is denied, the claimant would need to file a lawsuit against the estate within 63 days or the claim would be barred. He would not be considered an interested person of the estate and he would not have the right to notice, and he would otherwise not have standing. His sole remedy under Michigan law would be to file a claim. Good luck with the book!
