I know in my state, Louisiana, that would be considered an inheritance, and therefore, not community property. So, no, your husband would have no claim to it.But you need to check the inheritance laws of your state.In the USIn the United States a woman is allowed to own property in her own right. Her husband has no control over property she inherits. That sort of practice went out with the Married Women's Property Acts beginning in the nineteenth century which were originally designed to protect their property from their husband's creditors.

If your name is not on the mortgage and you contribute towards it how do you stand if you get divorced with kids involved?
It will depend on the specifics of your situation and the laws of your state regarding whether the property is considered to be separate property or marital property. Even if your name is not on the mortgage/title, it would likely be considered marital property if it was purchased (not received by/purchased from funds received by gift or inheritance) during the marriage. Check the laws of your state regarding divorce/property distribution. * The names on the mortgage only indicate the persons responsible for the repayment of the loan. Ownership of any property is determined by how said property is titled. In community property states all property acquired during a marriage is considered jointly owned. In non-community property if the title does not contain both spouse's names state laws governing marital property take precedence, usually it will be resolved by equitable distribution.

What if your husband passed and you had a home together that his uncle bought for us and you lived there together for 10 years are you intitled to that home?
What was your understanding when he purchased the home for you? Were you to make payments or was it a free and clear gift? Was anything put in writing. Do you have the deed to this property in your husband's and your name only? That would indicate that it belongs to you. Check all this out at your courthouse and also find out ifl liens have been placed in the property. It would be a good idea to have an attorney check this out for you so you'll know your rights (and maybe financial obligations) to the house. He will then be able to advise you on what to do.
A husband and wife have been married 12 yr and her name hasn't been added to property deed so if something were to happen to husband what would the wife's rights and ownership be?
You need to check the laws in your jurisdiction. In the United States there are different legal schemes for community property states (of which there are nine) and non-community property states. If the husband died intestate (without a will) the laws of intestacy in each state would govern the distribution of the property. You can check the laws of your state at the link below. If the husband will not add his wife's name to the deed as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship or as a tenant by the entirety then he should make certain to draft a will leaving the property to her.

Check with a locall attorney to be sure, but I'd say YES. I am NOT an attorney. Go to the link below for more reading. http://www.escrowhelp.com/articles/20000114.html There are currently nine states which offer Community Property status. These states are: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The "marital property act" defined Wisconsin as a community-property state, but individual circumstances will dictate how this act is interpreted. The property laws in these nine states look at property purchased during a marriage as community property and both husband and wife have an equal right to possess the property during their marriage.
