Hi,
I'm having a difficult problem and I hope that someone can give me a straight answer.
My father died this past July. His testament (drafted in 1991) clearly states that my sister and I are the sole heirs to his property. The attorney that drafted the testament now says that my father's property must be split evenly by all of my father's children, all of whom are adults of legal age. Is this true?
The attorney also tells me that because he is the one that drafted the testament, he is the only one that can declare who is and who isn't an heir. Is this also true? My sister and I need to be declared heirs so that we can get our names on the deed to the house.
Thanks!!!
