My Mom has passed and didn't have a will and my other sibling who handled everything has passed too. What do I do?
So my living siblings has to sigh an notarize a paper but the brother who passed away do his kids have to sign a paper to? I don't know what to do? I need help?
The descendants of any deceased child inherit that child’s share under Mississippi’s laws of intestacy. So, yes, if you are transferring property using a quitclaim deed or other form your surviving siblings and the descendants of any deceased sibling must sign.
First, my condolences for the loss of your mother. Probate court will be involved since there was no will and anything over $75,000 will be debated over survivors. Consult a probate attorney or do the research yourself. If you do not think you are able at this point in time, it might be best to consult the attorney.
The children of the deceased sibling yes they get the percentage what their parent would have recieved But, get a lawyer. Wills have to be probated etc.
Apply for Legal Aid in your district. If you are not entitled because of your income, the Estate Department of your municipality is paid to give this very assistance, if you ask nicely. There is nothing very difficult about it and if you put your mind to do it (with a smile) you will get through. Remember we pay taxes and the people who are paid by our taxes are paid to give you assistance on HOW to do it.
For your own peace of mind, you may want to be guided in this by an attorney. If money is a problem, perhaps a local legal aid society or such can help you. A place to start might be North Mississippi Legal Services. They have an office in West Point if that's nearby.
