Mother had a will which gave her son life residency to upper flat but also quick claimed the house to her daughter. Can daughter evict son from house?
Is the life residency for the son explicitly mentioned in the will?
General Information:
- If the will explicitly grants life residency, eviction may not be possible.
- Legal advice should be sought for clarity.
Yes, but house was quick claimed deed to sister prior to her death. Doesn't the quick claim deed supercede the will?
What is the location of the property in question? Laws regarding quick claim deeds and wills can vary by state.
