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

You really have no rights; as a girlfriend, you are not his heir. If however, you are added to title as a joint tenant, or he designates you in his will or trust as the beneficiary of the ownership of the house, then you would have the legal rights either as a surviving joint tenant, or as the beneficiary of the will or trust.

What rights do I have to my husband’s house?

Answered by attorney Susan Goodkind Wideman (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
If you are not on the title to the house and he dies; the house will have to go through Probate. If he names you in his Will to receive the house, then it will be yours unless he has unpaid debts and the house needs to be sold to pay those debts. If he does not have a will, or does not name you in the Will, you may only receive a portion of his estate and his children could potentially receive some of the estate as well.

What is the tax liability to the trust or to the beneficiaries if they were to paid a share of the sale?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
The estate should pay the tax on the sale. There may be capital gains. If the asset was depreciated there may be additional taxes. You should speak with a CPA to assist you with the tax issues.
