<div>Excellent call out, Paul. Who the heck holds title to the home? If decedent alone, is there an administration pending, or, if not, how many years did decedent’s heirs-at-law go without administering decedent’s estate (as an intestate estate)? </div>

<div>Maybe that’s just as dilatory as holding back a will? Fascinating . . . </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I remember reading caselaw recently that indicated a Will brought forward after so many years is “stale” and invalid. I can’t help but think about Professor Holdych – so is 2 years too late; what about
3 years, is that too late but 2 years 11 months is ok?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I have a client who wants to evict an old acquaintance of his mother’s from the estate home and sell it. This person has lived there for years and never paid a dime but client felt sorry for him for awhile,
kept giving him many, many chances to move and find another place. Long story short, when my client brought eviction proceedings, all of a sudden this person now presents a Will that says friend gets entire estate and home. It is very fishy indeed.</span></p>
