Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
Deceased Father gifted funds for purchase of a house
My deceased father wrote a check (a gift) for the purchase of a mobile home, that was put into my name (solely) at the time of sale and on the deed. My brother is trying to claim that the house that is in my name only is part of the estate and should be sold because our father had paid for the mobile home. Again, the bill of sale was in my name only, the deed is in my name only, the property is in my name only.
The money that our father gave to me for the mobile home was as a gift and he resided with me for the last 4 years of his life.
Does my brother have a claim to my house?

Re: Deceased Father gifted funds for purchase of a house
It doesn't sound like your brother has any legal grounds to claim the mobile home. It is not part of the estate. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Best regards, Edward DiCato
