It is difficult to answer this question without knowing when the estate was opened. Even though your grandfather may have passed two years ago, an estate may not have been opened right away. Sometimes the probate of certain estates take longer than others but it depends on the facts of each case and what has happened throughout the process to determine whether the delay was intentional or unavoidable. Feel free to contact me or respond with more details.

Is there something I can do without having to pay to have a succession done just for the house?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You use the term "succession," so I'd encourage you to note that this is the Oregon area of this website. If you're not in Oregon, my answer won't apply. The answer to your question depends on when you and your husband bought the house. In general, spouses own real property in Oregon as "tenants by the entirety," which is a survivor-ship estate. At certain times in the last 30 years the law required that your deed actually state that you are husband and wife, in order to create tenancy by the entirety. If it didn't say "as tenants by the entirety" or "husband and wife," then you would be tenants in common, in which case your late husband's part of the house would be in his estate. If your husband had any children who are not also your children, then his children would own a part interest in the house. If not, then you would still own the whole house, but you'd have to do a probate to transfer his half to you.

You can tell your mother that she is a grown up and she has to figure it out for herself. If you want to be paid for your taking care of her, then tell her that she has to deed the house to you while she keeps a life estate. That way, she can stay in the house but you get it when she dies.
