Grandfather Put A "convenience Accounts Clause" In His Will But Put His Home And Car In My Mom's Name. Do Home Fall Under The Clause Or Not? Location: Florida

Location: Florida

My grandfather passed away last year. His will was pretty simple. He wanted to split his assets between his 4 daughters.

Before he died, he put the car in my mom's name only and he added her as a joint owner of his mobile home. The mobile home is in a co-op and her name was added to the share of the co-op and she was approved by the board.

He wanted any car he owned to be sold and the proceeds to become part of the rest and residue of the estate.

Then it states:

"I devise the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of any kind, nature and description, which I know own, or hereafter acquire, or have the right to dispose of at the time of my death to my children (4 names) in equal shares, share and share alike."

Later it states:

"I may have, during my lifetime, for the purposes of convenience, put the name of one or more of my children on one or more of my assets. In doing so, it was not my intent to gift such asset to that child upon my death. Instead, any such account or other assets shall become part of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate and distributed in accordance with the provisions set forth in this will."

The attorney who created the will stated that she could keep the car because it was only in her name so it was no longer his. But what about the mobile home?

She would like to use the mobile home as a vacation home but she doesn't have the money to buy out her sisters. Right now she is renting it to a relative and splitting the rent payments between all the sisters.
