Fiance's stepfather and his mother are trying to do a "good deed" and sell off my fiance's late mother's home in Minnesota for her and her brothers.

Something seems a bit fishy though and i have some questions.

Real Estate and Probate laws vary greatly from state to state. So you'll need someone conversant in both in Minnesota. Try calling up a Title Company office in Minnesota - they all have attorneys. If they cannot help you directly, they can likely point you in the right direction. Or call up some Realtors in Minnesota and ask for references for a good Real Estate/Probate attorney.

:iagree: That's a very good suggestion.
