in 2003 both of my parents (grantors) did a warranty deed with life estate listing myself as the (guantee) documented in court. both have since passed and now a sister and two brothers are probating a will dated 1996 that state share share alike. they have intered into the courts papers claiming each of their one-quarted. my questions would be can they sell the house with out notification, do they have the right to enter this in the courts?

You own the house free and clear. It is not part of your parents' estate, so cannot be challenged in court by your sibilings. They cannot sell it.

Hello.

If you parents have used the Life estate then they are still owner and will remain owner of the property as long as they live. So read the deed thoroughly and check out the terms and conditions written on the deed. You can even review the deed by an attorney also.

Hi andy!

You can draft your will and include all these clauses in it. This will be the best option for you. If you are planning for a quitclaim deed, then you will have to mention the life estate clause in your wife's favor. You can also include the names of your daughters in the title of the property.

Thanks,

Jerry
