If something happens to my boyfriend what will happen to our house?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If your name is not on the house and he has not taken steps to ensure that it passes to you upon his death (e.g. beneficiary deed, will, trust, etc.), then the house would pass to his legal heirs - presumably his children. If they are under age 18 at the time of his death, the court would likely need to appoint a conservator to hold the house until the children are old enough to own the property themselves. I would recommend that your boyfriend consult with an attorney who can help him explore his objectives and the options available to meet those objectives.

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
A reasonable fee is determined by a court and reflects what is common practice in the area for a similar-sized estate.
