Here’s the problem, My mother-in laws mother passed away and left the house to her and her brother. Now prior to this a couple of years ago they both were put on the house to prevent probate problems or something like that. The remaining funds of the bank accounts were put into a joint account with both my mother-in-laws name and here brothers name on it.
Now heres the problem, the brother prior to the mothers passing has always been helping himself legally to mama’s money for sometime know and quite frankly has ended up on relying on it as a source of income. Well when mama passed away so did the social security checks and as a result the money left in the account to help keep the house up until sale is almost gone. Mother-in law is not happy because in order to get here money from the house she may half to pay Taxes, insurance, utilities, etc on the house until it sells. Is there a way that she can file something before the sale of the house to help ensure she gets more than half of the sale to reimburse her for the money she will be out?
