If our house is solely in my husband's name, in the event of his death, will the house automatically go to me, his wife?

James E. Reed
Answered by attorney James E. Reed
Estate Planning lawyer at Vandervoort, Christ & Fisher, P.C.
No. Whether the surviving wife gets the house will depend on if husband has a Will. What that Will says about the house and other assets, what other assets the husband has, whether there are children, and whose children they are. No matter what, the wife will not get the house without a probate proceeding for the husband's estate.

All "powers of attorney" terminate at death. You must now open a probate estate in order to get to the money in the account.

Is an agreement to purchase real estate a legal and binding document?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You should have the agreement reviewed by an attorney. No one can adequately advise you without reviewing what you actually signed.
