If all assets were held by the couple as joint property with the right of survivorship then full ownership of the property passed to the father's companion when he died. The children would be entitled only to property owned by their father in his own name alone. Any such property would pass to his children under the state laws of intestacy if he died without a will.
find my deceased fathers assets
Probably Spouse first, then his Estate then the children.
Its never too soon to tell the truth to your children.
Widowed mothers and fathers can escort their children alone.
Not unless they co-signed for the loans or credit cards. The estate is responsible for the debts.
The deceased son's children are typically entitled to their deceased parent's share of the estate that would have been inherited if he were alive. This would vary depending on the specific laws of the jurisdiction or any will left by your father. It is recommended to consult with a lawyer for guidance on how the estate will be distributed.
Only those persons mentioned in a will are legally entitled to know it's contents. Spouses, children, and sometimes the parents of the deceased may petition to become beneficiaries of a will even if they were not mentioned in the will as some states have laws against completely disinheriting some family members.
If your husband's girlfriend is mature and responsible and your children like her then there is no reason the children can't be left with her. If you don't feel she is responsible to look after them or the children don't like her then have your husband return the children to you if he has to leave their residence.
No go see a lawyer.
That is the question !
The power of attorney expired on his death. In most cases the spouse gets the estate if there is no will.
