Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri

Re: House deeded to son

If your father-in-law transferred ownership of the real estate while he was still alive, then it is obviously not in his estate subject to any claims of inheritance by your husband's brother. However, it may still be possible for your husband's brother to file suit seeking to have the transfer set aside under various legal theories such as "fraud", or perhaps under a theory of a "constructive trust" or even a "resulting trust" depending upon the facts or at least the alleged facts. If your husband's brother makes any attempt to legally acquire an interest in the property, it would be advisable for your husband to hire legal counsel.
