If my uncle died 10 years ago with no will leaving a house with no mortgage and my aunt is in nursing home can I still live there after her death if the deed was only in uncle's name?

Bottom line, whether you can live there will depend upon who is the legal owner and whether they want you to leave. The house should have been part of the uncle's estate and an executor would have had the deed changed to the aunt's name, as she may be the sole heir to the home under the local laws of intestacy, but often only if there were no surviving children (they might get half). On the aunt's death, her estate would have the property and distribute it in accordance with the intestate laws in her state of residence. Chances are that you wouldn't get the property without a will, but it is certainly possible, particularly if there are no children or other closer living relatives (i.e., parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, in the order prescribed by law). In many states the deed would not necessarily be changed until the house is conveyed by sale, as probate and divorce records are part of the title. Also, if it were a community property state, then different rules would apply.
