Do I have rights to an inheritence?

There's no law that says a will has to be fair.  The reason people write wills is so they can do whatever they want and be sure their wishes will be carried out.  Don't blame your father; it's likely his hands are tied.  And don't be bitter, either.  Money can pull families apart, and it's not really worth it.

after a certain amount of time, they wont go after you, but if you owe and receive the inheritance say tomorrow, it will all depend on how the will is structured. If there is no will and it is a straight next of kin arrangement, they sure can go after that money. Not only that, but any unpaid debts of the benefactor can be deducted from the amount of the inheritance.

To be honest, it would be better for all of you if you could work something out with your sister because the present interest holder (meaning your mom) in a reversionary life estate cannot do anything that would dimish the value of the property and she also has a duty to maintain the property.  If it has been vacant for an extended period, anything could have happened over there.  \n\nYour sister may have also included a right of termination in the life estate or reserved some sort of right of entry if for instance your mom had to go into a nursing home.  There are all kinds of unknowns here both in how your sister set this up and the law in your state. \n\nLong story short, you may not be able to stop her.  \n\nWhy don't you just go with her or simply remove anything from the house that your mom does not want your sister to have access to?  It would seem to be the most painless compromise for all involved.

Yes. Because he has vacated the domicile you can. However he needs access to his belongings via reasonable means.\n\nGood luck

You should call the Clerk of the Court for your county.  It's possible that a transfer of title to a family member (sharing title with them) will not be taxable, since it's not a "sale" and they are part of your family.

First you need to find out if your family actully owns the MINERAL rights of said land.\n\nIf you own 100% of the Mineral rights, (Doubtful if the land has been in your family less than 150 years) then you could 'lease' the mineral rights of this land to a company who would then write you a check every month or quarter (3 months) to rape your land of its natural resources.\n\nYou will need to contact a real estate attorney before you do anything.

You MUST see an attorney who practices in YOUR state to find out if you are the owners or not.\n\nAnswers from another state may not be right.

They can hold everything up, which is why this is such a hard spot to be in.  We studied the ways to inherit property when I got my real estate license.  This problem came up again and again as an example of what happens when parents leave property equally to all children.\n\nIf you can't reach them by phone and work it out, you'll have to get a lawyer.  Which is never good for family.\n\nYou are all joint tenants.  Two of you can sign over to the third, who will then be in joint tenancy with the 4th.  The first two will be out of the equation for any remaining decisions on the property, effectively the same relationship as before- just less people involved.\n\nYou can legally sell your shares to the third as well as give them away.  Good luck, I wish you well.

First of all, it depends on when you inherited it and when you are selling it.\n\nYour "basis" in the property is what it was worth at the time of the death of the person you inherited it from.\n\nIf that was a while ago, the property may have increased in value.  If it was recently, or in an area not experiencing increased value since you inherited, it may be at or near the same value as your "basis" at the time of their death.\n\nThe difference between your "basis" and the current sales price of the property is called the "capital gain" and it is all that you will be taxed on.\n\nEXAMPLES  \n\nIf value @ death was $35,000.00 and you are selling for $35,000.00 - NO TAX (no gain because the basis is as same as the sales price)\n\nIf value @ death was $25,000.00 and you are selling for $35,000.00 - $10,000 Taxable Capital Gain\n\nAs for the tax rates, that is where my expertise pretty much ends.\n\nThere are Long Term Capital Gains and Short Term Capital Gains, and I do not know the length of time for each, nor whether or not there is a difference because the property was inherited and not purchased.  They are taxed at different rates, and those rates have nothing to do with your income level or any other particulars other than the time the capital asset (the property) was held by you. \n\nFor this you will need to speak to an accountant or tax advisor, but I hope you have a better understanding now of what questions to ask to get a complete answer from them.\n\nGood luck and take care.

This isn't a psychic question and answer forum, but perhaps a person with psychic abilities will notice your question and give you an answer.\n\nIf you are specified in his will as the sole inheritor, it sounds as if you will be. He must have cared a great deal for you to leave his sister and his nephew out of his will. That alone should give you a tremendous peace and comfort, as I'm sure you are grieving over his death and your loss.

Talk to your attorney first about property rights. You just can't put somebody else's name on the deed willy-nilly, especially if there's a mortgage involved. \n\nThen bring it up with your father carefully. Further decide how much your relationship with your father is worth. Because there are other things in life besides money that are important...And your relationship with your father may be worth more than the 50K you might lose under a different situation.

Im not from NJ, but I assume that there are taxes on inheritance. Thats the government for you. The more money you got they want it. \nBut check with the county or a lawyer and see what they say.

It is possible to own mineral rights without owning the land. As a royalty owner myself, I caution you to be careful about signing any documents or bank drafts that may be offered to you without having the matter reviewed by an Oklahoma attorney specializing in mineral rights. In my case I knew the history of my inheritance but the fine print in the first draft would have actually taken away my ownership after one year. There have been some scams running also in recent years in Oklahoma and Texas, so it is best to make certain that the proposal is completely above board.

Sorry, you're a minor. (I'm only 14) And as such you can't legally own anything. Now, as a parent as a custodian you could get some of that stuff, but in the end they would always have the final word on everything. (You don't really legal exist, your parents represent you) But even with a custodian you couldn't get the patents or copyrights you need under your own name. You could (if you had the money) hire a lawyer to represent you as an adult, but your parent would have to consent. As for bank accounts, you may be able to open a joint account with one of your parents. (I did) Personally, I'd wait a bit, maybe until you sixteen or so to get really serious. Talk to your parents about it (I know, that wouldn't be like you want, but that's life as a minor) I hope you do really well in all your future endevors.
