Here's the fear- if you dump a lot of money into repairs, and the ownership is legally challenged and you lose, was it worth fixing up the house? No matter how you feel, it's not yours until your name is on the title. Title first, then HELOC and repairs. Use whatever funds you can get together for the legal side. Estates can be nasty, litigious things and it would suck to fix the house right before it goes to some estranged relative with a better attorney.
