They are both deceased. My mother made it clear to everyone she wanted me to have the house, and should I decide to sell it to divide it equally (two brothers and 2 sisters) and the 2 children of my sister. I have a note stating that the house belongs to me. My brother in law thinks that it belongs to him, although we have had no problem with him. I owe back taxes is why my mom could not put it in my name. What should I do to have our house put in my name? there was no will. thank you

So the property will be distributed among the heirs according to the Intestate Succession Law in your state. So ask your brother in law to contact with any attorney ASAP. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions, Best of luck, Larry

Thank you for answering my questions, I failed to mention that my brother and I are living in the house and have been since 1973. You mentioned divided amoung the heirs, does that mean my decesed sisters boy and giri? actually they are grown. I have paid the house off and have been paying the taxes on the house every year. thank you..

The property was on your sister's name. So who are the heirs will be decided by the court. As you have made the mortgage payments and taxes, it should also be considered and you should get the share of the property. But the decision of the court will be final. BTW you can get the property if your brother in law and his children sign a no objection agreement and you can file an affidavit of heir ship. Consult with your attorney whether it is possible or not? Best of luck, Larry
