My uncle passed away in march and a will was put into probate in the county(VA) were he owned a house. but, he lived and worked in DC with my dad until he died. After his death my dad put his will in probate in VA this was a will from 2009. We then leaned that a will was put into probate in DC and that will was from 1989 by his son. I found out that the will in VA has completed it's process and as far as VA is concered the will process is done the property belongs to me. DC has the will tried up in court and the son's lawyer is telling me that I need grant the son access to the house for inspection and if i dont give him keys to the house he will have the locks changed. I plan to post the land and lock the gates and inform the police of the matter. Can a Quit Clam Deed help me in this case?
Hi JVC,
As per the will, you're the owner of the property. In such a situation, you don't need a quitclaim deed. You're not liable to give access of the property to your uncle's son. You should rather contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter.
