My father passed away a few months back and his mother did a few months before. In her will it states that her children will share the money between them from the selling of her house, which mens my brother and I should get my fathers share to split between the two of us. Only now i'm hearing that someone who is not even related to the family has to sign over so my brother and i get my fathers share. My question is what does this woman have to do with my grandmothers will? Would it have any thing to do if my father would have signed it over in her name before his death? Understand this is very upsetting for me because this women was not even married to my father but actually someone else. I feel she only used him to clean up. Can anyone help me to understand wills and how it works?

Well, when you get to the bottom of a will let me know personally. OK, all wrongs aside, my husband has hateful and I do mean hateful brothers. When his mother died the will stated he would get x number of money. The money was there. Somewhere along the line of attorneys because the one brother was executor, everything had HAD to go in his name. Therefore, everything is his. I guess that is hopefully what probate is going to fix. It is very easily traced....Check and see if the will is probate and wait? Go searching the law library at the courthouse. Attorneys are not nice.
