It's not quite that simple. If they are legally married, there is more to it than that. Regardless of whose name is on the deed and title, the law MAY give her a marital interest in the home. You really need to contact an attorney to help you with this matter and help guide your way through it.
In this situation, the laws of intestate succession will determine how the property is distributed. Typically, the spouse will inherit a portion of the property, and the remaining portion will be divided among the children. It is advisable to consult with a probate attorney to understand the specific laws in your jurisdiction and to navigate the legal process of transferring ownership of the property.
As the naked owner, you have the legal right to visit your deceased father's house. However, with your stepmother having a usufruct, it means she possesses the right to use and enjoy the property during her lifetime. It's recommended to establish open communication and understanding with your stepmother to coordinate your visits to the house.
More than likely it will, along with anything else he owned.
That will depend on the laws in your jurisdiction. In most cases the spouse has rights in all real property. That would include a house owned by the deceased.
If your father owns the house, and owns the property in question, then he likely has the right to keep said property. However, if the offspring is able to prove that they own the property in question, then the property should be relinquished to the offspring.
The answer depends on how the property was titled. If your father and his wife owned the property jointly the title to the property passed to her upon his death. Therefore when she died her interest would pass to her next of kin. You need to check out their deed to the property. You can obtain a copy at the land records office in their jurisdiction. If the deed states that they owned the property as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then you have no interest in the property and your step mother could leave it to her kin by will. If she had no will the property would pass to her kin according to the laws of intestacy in your state. If the deed to the property does not describe a joint ownership then you should speak to an attorney to determine if you inherited an interest when your father died.
Unless your father left a will, bequeathing the house to you on his death, the property is your mothers to do with as she pleases ! You, as a dependent of your mother, have no legal right to stop the sale.
Property handed down from father to child is an Estate and whatever is in that Estate such as monies; property or contents of the house; owning cars; boats, etc., is an inheritance to the child named in the father's Wills.
You are the new owner of the property and have every right as such under the law. Your father no longer owns the property and therefore he no longer has any rights in it.
If the property is in your name alone then you can sell it.
In such a case the state probate succession laws of the state where the property is located would apply. Generally exempted property and assets in such a situation will follow the bloodline, which means the biological children who know hold a portion of the property would receive equal shares of the deceased stepmother. However, the titling of the property could be equally important if the issue is contested by other parties. All property owners should use great care in titling any real property to avoid future complications due to divorce, death, judgments, etc.
Because the property was not owned outright by the deceased persons being willed the property are responsible for the debt attached as well. If they do not want to take the financial responsibility of paying the debt or selling the property they can allow it to be included in the probate procedure and therefore are not responsible for foreclosure or other litigation connected to it. yes, you are responsible otherwise you lose the house you don not get it free just because someone dies. only the person named as heir to the house has to pay. just did this.
