What happens when your father dies with a will leaving his spouse and four children the house and land the stepmother dies without a will does her portion of the land go to the all the children?

Answer 1

In such a case the state probate succession laws of the state where the property is located would apply. Generally exempted property and assets in such a situation will follow the bloodline, which means the biological children who know hold a portion of the property would receive equal shares of the deceased stepmother. However, the titling of the property could be equally important if the issue is contested by other parties. All property owners should use great care in titling any real property to avoid future complications due to divorce, death, judgments, etc.
