[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Okay, I'm going to be completely honest here.

I am Larla, My parents were really shocked to when we found out the house is now mine. Like I said before, I'm in college and I work full time. My grandmother told me that her sister (Thelma's) thought process was that her son (Roy) has a house, several assets and has done well in life. That is why she didn't leave it to him. She left both her kids money but not the house.

Since I have already been called a bitch for even asking the question, I guess I can just let loose and be totally honest.

To the PP who wants to protect Mary and Roy's interest, what do you think that I am going to do if I take ownership of the house? I have not stolen anything from them and I don't plan to. [/quote]

It's not that anyone thinks you've done or will do anything wrong, Larla. It's just that this is a very unusual fact situation. I've read a lot of wills in the process of doing historical research, and it is much more common for a family home to be left to the children of the owner of the home, not a more distant relative.

When a home is left to a more distant relative, there is typically a very specific reason for that action. In cases where there isn't a reason mentioned in the will, the children of the deceased sometimes challenge the will. If I were a friend of Mary or Roy in this case, I would suggest that they at least talk to a lawyer about the circumstances of this particular will.

Do your parents have any idea at all why Thelma would have left her home to you? Especially since, at the time the will was written, you were a minor.
