My aunt never probated her late spouse’s will. She was able to live in the house until she died. But the house would have been 50% hers if she sold it. So she left 50% of the house to me in her will. If the house is probated, will I still get 50% of that house or no because she has passed?

[MA] Can I request a stay of court proceedings for my son due to serious mental health issues?

My son has mental health issues and was caught on video taking a vest from Dunkin Donuts. My local law enforcement know what the problem is, and he is not a threat to himself or others. However, although I returned the vest and a phone battery, the people in question filed with the court, and Peter is called to appear in front of a magistrate. He is in no condition to do so, he is delusional and cannot concentrate for more than a minute, then he returns to his delusions. Could I ask a lawyer to apply for a “stay of proceedings.” I had another incident where my son did not pay a taxi, but I eventually did, and someone in the department took care of Peter not needing to appear by reason of mental health issues.
