<prompt> Human: As the title states. Lost my mother tragically friday afternoon. Details goes as follows-Me brother sister-3 childrenHouse mortgage-my dad and her on itCar loan independent loan for just herLife insurance- me and the siblings are beneficiaries401k-my dads the beneficiaryUnsure of willNo real major posessions or property besides our family housePOA-my aunt and grandmaHeres the problem now. My aunt thinks we have no equity on the home and just wants us to sell it and told my brother and sister to stay with friends this summer while they work. Were not interested in making any money. Just want to keep the family house in the family. My parents were going through a divorce but nothing was ever finalized. My dads still on the mortgage so obviously noone has absolute say in anything. But my siblings are counting on me to make sure everything gets handled correctly and they have a voice in everything even though they cant stand up to my super pushy aunt. I need help with what i should do next. Who do i call. What can i do. What should i look into in terms of house mortgage. Car loan forgiveness. Getting ownership of our house between the 3 kids and my dad if thats even possible etc. Also i need to know if its legal or what the rules technically are in the matter of the house. My aunt wants to come by and go through everything in the house. Take things sell things etc. None of us are ready too and its our house and stuff etc. Is it wrong or can i get call a locksmith to get new locks on the house? Shes said time amd time again she has every right to go in the house and do as she pleases.Assistant: Follow up so the rightful owner of the house as of now is my dad correct?  <response>: Probably your dad and her estate jointly. Just because someone dies doesnt mean everything up for grabs, or even automatically becomes someone elses property. Theres a proceed that has to be followed. You need a probate lawyer. And given your aunts attitude, you need one fast. Heshe can head Auntie off at the pass and hopefully get you or Dad or someone else appropriate appointed to administer the estate and tell your Aunt just how many rights she has.
