My father passed away recently and left behind a private property where my mother still lives. My sister and I are trying to understand what happens next, but there are different opinions in the family and I don’t want us making assumptions about ownership.
My parents were married for over 30 years and as far as I know, the property was bought during their marriage. I’m not sure whether it was registered under both their names or only my father’s, and we also haven’t found out yet whether he left a will. My mother wants to continue living there and there’s no plan to sell the property for now.
The main complication is that my sister lives in Australia while I’m in Singapore, so we’re worried that leaving the paperwork unresolved could create problems later.
