Attorney Answers Kings County Wills & Probate QuestionCo-owners of a Deed to real estate in Brooklyn, NY What happens to a property in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY if there were 4 equal owners, but two died leaving surviving children over the age of 18. Is half the property to be divided among the children?
Attorney's Response to Wills & Probate Question from Kings CountyThere is no quick or easy way to answer this question without knowing specifics about how the 4 original owners held title to the property. Under NY law If the 4 original owners held the title to the property as tenants in common then their estate would succeed to their interest in the property. If they had a will the persons named in the will take. If they did not then their heirs at law take. That may be the children they left. On the other hand if the original owners held title as joint tenants, under NY law at their death their interest was extinguished. Their estates get nothing but the survivors get a larger share automatically under the New York law dealing with wills, trusts and probate or real estate. In some situation a court could examine the specifics of the relationship of all the parties to each other, how the deed was held, if Wills were left by the decedents, etc., so it is impossible to give a meaningful answer. We suggest that you take all the relevant information and copies of any wills to a probate attorney in who is familiar with wills in Kings County, NY to help you sort this out.
