Best Answer

Yes. There may be a serious and costly problem depending on the laws in the state where you live.

If the wife should die intestate the property would pass according to the state laws of intestacy. Her surviving spouse may only inherit a partial interest in the property and the children will get the remaining interest. If there are no children the wife's parents or siblings may inherit an interest.

On the other hand, she may be able to leave it to someone else by a will if she is the sole owner.

You need to speak with an attorney ASAP and have the property titled properly for a married couple in your state.

Your husband and son bought a house together they are on the deed if your husband died will you get half of the house or does your son own it all. If your son gets married can his wife put you out?

You don't give your state of residence and states vary in their interpretation of marital property when it comes to real estate. You REALLY need to consult with an attorney to learn your legal rights. If your name does not appear on the deed or title to the property you COULD be in legal jeapordy if your husband's will does not provide for you to inherit his interest in the home.
