Ded passed away, house now owned by stepmother, do I have any rights?
My father passed away 4 years ago, his will stated that his estate was to divided between me, my brother and my stepmother. Apparently the house automatically went to my stepmother (It wasn’t mentioned in the will). My stepmother told me after that the agreement between her and my dad was that if he died first, she would leave the house to me and my brother in her will (she has no children of her own and when I asked about why her nieces should get nothing she said she had other assets for them). That all sounded fine, but she has since made it clear that she wants nothing to do with me or my brother, she has not said that she will not honor her promise but based on the fact that she has broken off contact with us, I suspect she does not plan to leave us the house after all. I can’t be sure of this of course, on one had I feel badly even suspecting that she might go back on their deal as they very much loved each other, she has always said that my father was the best thing that ever ha
