Current realities can dislodge the best-laid plans of the testator, especially if they have not updated their will regularly. In many cases, property owned in joint tenancy is automatically transferred to the remaining owners upon the co-owner’s death. The same can occur with a business or some other community-based holding. However, if the intention of the will states that the property should be divided rather than transferred wholesale, the remaining siblings have the option to enforce the will in court. A similar sort of situation can happen when a sibling lived in the home of the parent at the time of their death. Protections exist for the current tenant of the property, and it may take a full-on eviction proceeding to get the sibling out of the property — which can usually only take place once probate is closed and ownership is assumed.
