Is a deeded home considered part of an estate following death?
Yes, in Nebraska, a deeded home is typically considered part of a deceased person's estate. However, this can depend on how the property was held or if there's a surviving spouse. Can you provide more details about the property's ownership status?
Both parents are deceased. An addendum to the will states that the home is deeded between five daughters and the rest of the personal belongings are divided by five. If we want to sell the home - do all five daughters have the right to sell? Can the executor make individual decisions without the five daughters?
In Nebraska, all five daughters, as joint owners, have rights over the property. For selling, all must agree and sign the deed. The executor cannot sell without consent from all owners. Please consult a local attorney for specific advice.
But, is the home considered part of the estate if it has been deeded?
Yes, in Nebraska, even if a home is deeded to the daughters, it's still part of the estate until the estate is fully settled. Afterward, the property becomes the daughters' full ownership. Consult with a local attorney for further clarity.
