If said family member is the executor of the deceased estate and your name does not appear on the deed to the property then yes you may be evicted...

If said family member is the sole inheritor of the property via the will of the deceased and there are no special exceptions in the will concerning the living spouse of the deceased then you can be evicted once the property deed is legally transfered.

Added: If you are a spouse excluded from the will, you may be able to inherit under a law known as "years support." You should contact an attorney in your state that practices Wills and Estates to inquire about your options.

Additional: If you are occupying the property under the terms of a lease or contract, the estate of the deceased MUST honor the provisions of the lease - however - when it expires, the estate/heirs are under no obligation to renew it.

If such a lease/contract exists and the estate wishes to evict you from the property prior to its expiration date, the estate/Executor in doing so, must comply with whatever landlord/tenant law may exist in your state.
