I am the PR. I filed the will along with the probate back in 2009. The house is my mother and fathers name, I am the one that has kept up with the home for the past 10 years. I’m ready to sell the home but the will says from the real estate proceedings to split among 4 siblings? Do I have too go by the probated will even though I have been paying the mortgage and taxes for this many years?
The Will governs. You can sell the home as personal representative and split the proceeds. You may have a reimbursement claim against the estate. Contact the attorney who represented you in applying to probate.
