QUESTION
What if my son-in-law forged a document that put him on the deed of his late father's property as 50% joint tenancy?

More details to this question:
My husband recently passed away without providing a will or trust. He had inherited property (land) that he aquired during our marriage. Given solely to him 100%. We live in CA so I was told that after he passed I was to get 1/3 and his children would get 2/3. However house children are out of state and were under the assumption that I just get everything. Next thing I know one of the kids has his name on the deed as 50%owner.

You can have an attorney challenge the forged deed in court. Without a will, the surviving spouse gets 1/3 and the children (if more than one child) get 2/3 of the separate property. A probate proceeding would be required.
