Will I be able to reside in a home that I resided in with my now deceased wife? She passed in May and her 2 adult kids and I have been in probate over her assets. My wife and I resided in a home purchased by my wife prior to our marriage. The home is being sold in probate and her daughter is trying to put me out of the home. Is this legal?
Most states allow the surviving spouse to inherit a life estate upon the passing of his/her spouse despite how the home is titled. You need to consult with a probate attorney in the state where the spouse died for more specific advice.
