What Happens to a Mobile Home After Death?

Ever wondered what happens to a mobile home when its owner passes away? It's not as simple

as handing over the keys! If the mobile home is an asset, it often goes through

a legal process called probate. Probate ensures that the deceased's debts are paid and

their assets, including the mobile home, are distributed correctly to heirs

or beneficiaries. If there's a will, the probate court validates it and ensures the mobile

home goes to the person named. Without a will, state laws of intestacy dictate who inherits,

usually close family members. This can be a lengthy and costly process. To avoid probate,

consider options like joint ownership or placing the mobile home into a living trust.
