She wants to sell the house, Wh Like 0 Dislike 0 My Father died 5 years ago and my Step-Mother thought that her name was on the Deed to the house but it is not. I have 3 other Sisters who we have contacted and told them that we want to sell the house and that there is no Will. What happens now? What should we be doing to make sure we do the right thing and to make sure that my Step-Mother gets back the money that she has paid for the taxes the last 5 years? What are her rights in this matter?

However, she may be considered as an heir to the property and on that grounds she can claim the sale proceeds. As there is no will to the property, your step-mother can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and try to get the property transferred in her name. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success
