Question

My 93 year old uncle passed away and left his house to my 87 year old mother. She does not want it . Her name is in his will. She would like to know if she is responsible for the house.



Answer

Your mom can "disclaim" the house if it's within 9 months of death. That is she basically says she doens't want it. Likely the house fall to her children (you and siblings). However, important to work this through with a probate attorney to verify it. Good luck. -John



Answer

I agree with the previous answer, and be sure to know to whom it will go if she disclaims it. She won't be responsible for the maintenance while it's in probate, but if the estate has no cash, the beneficiaries may need to contribute (or take a loan against the house) as a practical matter.



Answer

Your uncle's estate will need to go through probate. Your mother can renounce the inheritance during that process. The will of your uncle will determine who is next in line for the house -- the property would not necessarily pass to you and to your siblings. As such, it is necessary for your mother to make the decision carefully as to what she wants to do.



Can a relator keep your deposit if you didn't get the loan due to inspection failure

Question

Can a relator keep your deposit if you didn't get the loan due to inspection failure



Answer

The realtor can't keep the deposit in any event. Whether you are entitled to get it back depends on a lot of things. What do you mean by an "inspection failure"? Most contracts have a paragraph where it sets out when you have to have the inspection by, when you have to notify the seller if the inspection discloses problems, what the process is to allow you to negotiate with the seller as to what repairs he's willing to do or not to do. There's usually a time limit in the contract as to when you can tell the seller "We haven't come to an agreement as to the repairs, so I'm cancelling the contract. Please send me the deposit". If you missed any of those dates, or didn't give notice in a timely fashion, you may lose the deposit. Did you have a real estate agent? He/she should have been keeping track of those deadlines.
