Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

Re: sale of land after fathers death

This depends on a variety of factors. How was the land owned? Was the father the sole owner, or was wife a joint owner? Did they own as Joint Tenants, Tenants by the Entireties, or Tenants in Common? Additionally, was there a will or no? Without that information you cannot get a definitive answer. It would be a good idea to contact an attorney where the land is located to find out if there is anything that can be done.

Re: sale of land after fathers death

The answer depends on whether there was a will and what was in it. If there was no will, then the property would pass via the laws of intestate succession. Your husband is entitled by law to see the will. He can either go through the wife or the probate court. He can contact the probate court to find out if an estate has been opened. If none has, then he can open one and see that a personal representative is appointed.
