Probate

A homeowner dies intestate with only a small home in her estate. By law, the property passes to her daughter who never transfers the title to the home to her name and then also dies intestate. Now the home passes to the granddaughter.Can the title pass from the grandmother to the granddaughter in one probate or is it necessary to probate once from Grandmother to daughter and then a second time from daughter to granddaughter?

my father passed away and left my brother and i everything including stock portfolio, annuities, life insurance, etc. we divided everything up, and npw a copy of his will appeared and it said that 1/3 be given upon death, 1/3 given in 5 years and the remainder in 10 years. do we have to abide by the will or are they ways to get around the 1/3, 1/3 and 1/3. what are our legal options?

My father died and in his will he assigned my brother as his executor, but he has not probated the will nor has he been assign as an executor to the estate, by father loan me his car because my broke down driving him back an forth to houston for his chemo treatments. I live in Pleasanton Texas and he loan me the car. I took car of him since the other sibling did not want to take care of him. He died in August and since then I have gone back to work, but I have not been able to save up the money for a down payment for a vehicle and the money he left me and my brother (who we happen to be from a different marriage) are having a hard time trying to withdrawal the dividends because he us our Spanish names instead of our brith certificate names. Since he has not probated the will and the court has not assign him as executor yet do I have to surrender the car. I do not want the car because it only sit 4 people, and with kids and everything I need a bigger vehicle. This vehicle provides my transportion to taking my children to school and going to the store and running to doctor appointment, since i do have a child that has ADD/HDA. i need help!!

I have been divorced for 4 1/2 yrs. My EX died in Ohio On Oct 4, 2010. I get a note from his lawyer in Indiana where we had lived. This Lawyer wants me to sign a document giving her ownership Of a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee we owned jointly and was paid off by a bankruptcy in my name only. S I don't know why his lawyer and not his family pay for the burial. Our divorce decree says nothing about the Jeep. How I see it is I own the Jeep since it was in both our names. This lawyer is in Valparaiso IN. and apparently has the Jeep. Like I said I believe I am the owner of the Jeep. I would like my brother who lives there to pick up the Jeep from her.

My husband left only annuities to me when he died. We did not have any joint properties, am I responsible for his debts?
