My cousin gave her parents a warranty deed on an acre of property. The parents put a mobile home on that property. My uncle passed away a few years ago and recently my aunt passed on, neither of which had a will. They have two other children of which one was adopted before the two biologicals were born. The cousin that has the warranty deed claims everything that is sitting on property, from the mobile home, vehicles, personal belongings(jewelry,furniture etc.). She is will to share with her biological sister,their children and their grandchildren, but says her adopted sister will get NOTHING except a few photographs. Is this legal? Does she own everything on that property just because she has a warranty deed?

She can claim what she wants, but without a will, it will go to several things, first was there other names on the mobile home title, or the deed, did your cousin leave their name on the will with her parents.

If not, it goes to probate court, the court will appoint someone to be over the estate, and all family members including adopted will have shares.

My uncle and aunt did not have a will. Only their names are on the mobile home title, vehicle titles, etc.

It will have to go probate court,

Thank you. That was my thoughts as well. Have a good night!
