ive been my moms primary caretaker for years, not getting paid for it, but living with her for the past six years, sunday she died in the hospital (she went in for a uti and they kept her there for heart failure, which she had 2 heart attacks so not unexpected) but since she didnt leave a will or anything. how do i keep our childhood home? just take up paying the bills? or....what. ive been talking to her friend and know moms wishes but she never wrote any of them down or got them notorized. she wanted me to keep the house and all her posessions (because my sisters when she was alive was always absent in our lives until they needed a hand out) any advice?

thanks for the replies.

i tried to comment on all of you but it keeps giving me a timer to wait and it keeps getting longer and longer. i usually just lurk on poal and nobody i know irl knew what to do. so thank you all for the advice, and the kind words.

Just parroting what's been said: without a will and with cunt sisters, you're pretty fucked. Get an estate attorney NOW to see what your options are. They do vary state by state, so it's important to try and get ahead of this ASAP. Take any and all documents you have (including the Shellpoint letter) so they can look through it all. Plan on this being expensive because it will be, but if you want any chance of keeping the house or any valuables, this is your only option.

Even with a will, cunt relatives can protest and drag things out in the legal system. And with a will and no family in the way, things can still take months to years to get sorted out. Wills aren't what they used to be, and trusts are becoming the better way to go.

Best of luck. It's going to be a shit show.
