    Default Re: Did I Have the Right to Take Community Assets Off Property

    I did not take any joint assets.. I only took assets that were considered community. My father was living in the house and she moved back in after he died. I know that the house went directly to her. She says that I was trespassing at that point and had no right or court order to do what I did. She keeps requesting a list of what I took but I don't think she can prove everything that I took. She has said that everything needs to go thru probate and that I have a right to his half of the community but not her half. Does an executor have the right to take possession of the assets? I think I might have opened a can of worms legally. Also, am I responsible to keep the pymts up on a car that I took that was in his name only? She says it was bought while they were married and half belongs to her. She is still paying the insurance on it but says that the community assets need to be sold to pay it off and then sell it and I will get half value for it.

    Those WERE joint assets. The community is her and him until a court says otherwise. Step mom is 100% right in everything that she's said and you are going to have some explaining to do to the probate court.

    You need a probate attorney NOW and you need to return EVERY ITEM YOU TOOK from that house. Pronto.
