What happens when someone dies, there is no will, and 1 descendant is living in the home?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
If we are talking about homestead property (principal residence) and no spouse, then upon death the house goes to the children. Living there carries no greater rights (if both children are adults). If one is living there and that is not acceptable to the other, I would suggest one buy out the other. If he/she refuses, the other child can force a partition sale (similar to a foreclosure sale) where the property is sold judicially and the proceeds divided.

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
No per capita means that only your grandmother's surviving children are entitled to receive anything unless all of her children died before her, then all of the grandchildren would receive a share.
