If the testator is still living then you haven't "been left a house" yet. You will only inherit it after the death of the testator and IF it is still in their estate.

When a person dies their estate must be probated through the probate court. The court will appoint an executor and the debts of the decedent must be paid before any property can be distributed to the heirs. If the decedent owes money for medical care the facility can file a claim for any money due. If the state provides medical assistance, the state can file a claim against the estate.

All of the above is the reason more affluent and sophisticated people do "estate planning" and transfer their property to trusts drafted by trust attorneys. When they die they don't "own" any property and it will pass to their heirs from the trust free and clear.

How do you get to be a Pokemon day-care person in emerald?

A: If you mean a way to actually get into the place where the Pokemon are, then I would very seriously doubt it, because I've been trying to do that for practically fore-ever! But you can enter the day-care house, but then again, if you can't, then your game is jacked up or glitched.

I have been left a house in a Will when can I move in?

If you have been left a house in a will, you should be able to move in as soon as the present owner is dead. You may not have any problems getting the house ready whenever the person leaving you the house goes to a nursing home awaiting death. Frequently, such a person has let the house run down. However, with old people, there may be claims against the estate. If the person has left you the house but has run up a bill for thousands of dollars in the last years of life without the means of paying it, or if the house is worth more than the inheritance tax due, the probate judge may insist you pay the bill or the house be sold. You may not inherit the house but whatever money is left over from its sale, if any.
