Generally, a felon may inherit real estate if they had no involvement in the death of the owner. For example, if Judith died intestate, with no spouse, leaving three daughters and one was incarcerated, each would inherit a third interest in her estate. If Judith was murdered by one of her daughters, that daughter would be barred from benefitting from Judith's estate. The remaining two sisters would share the property, each acquiring a 1/2 interest. In a local case some years ago, a woman was convicted of murdering her husband and was sentenced to a long prison term. Together they had owned a home. They had no living children but there were two grandchildren. The property was distributed to the two grandchildren.

Yes, felons can inherit real estate just like any other individual. A person's criminal record does not typically affect their ability to inherit property.

Why would someone have to put a house in probate to inherit it?

Putting a house in probate is necessary after the homeowner passes away if there is no living trust or co-owner named. This legal process ensures that the deceased's assets, including the house, are distributed according to their will or state laws. Probate is required to transfer the property title to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries.
