Q: If a property was jointly owned and one spouse dies, how does the remaining spouse get a reverse mortgage?
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
It they owned the property as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the property passed to the surviving spouse by operation of law. So no,, the executor has no say in the matter. The will is not void, but the property doesn't pass by the will. And yes, the heirs named in the will get no part of the proceeds. All of this assumes that a JTWROS is allowed in your jurisdiction; speak to an attorney there.

Q: Large insur co. boss locally is accused of multiple counts of harassment. What kind of lawyer do we need as employees?
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
When you have a question you have to give enough basic information. You have not stated what type of harassment is involved here. Perhaps a personal injury attorney is needed, perhaps just a general practitioner. Actually going to see an attorney could be quite helpful.
