Legal Question


wills and real estate property

My mom owned her deceased mothers home. when my mom recently passed away the lawyer advised my stepdad to put the deed in his name or it would have to be sold to pay my moms debts. She wanted my brother and I to have that house.It's set up now that when my stepdad passes away the house will go to my brother and I. BUT, Now it's in discussion to sell the property, my stepdad claims he will give us each no less than $20,000 each from the profit. Should we get this in writing and notorized or have a lawyer draw up papers promising us monies from the sale? I am afraid that he will sell the house and keep ALL the money. my mom would just roll over if she knew that he did that to us.Where do we stand legally on this matter? What should we do to ensure that we get money from the sale?? All advice is appreciated.
