Would a notarized letter be good that states that the house will be left to me if something happens to him and there’s no will?

I suggest you (1) get out the deed and mortgage documents and see who owns what, and (2) have a talk with your son about what should happen when you and him die. A notarized letter only helps if it is accepted by the court as a will. No need to waste effort on a half-baked solution when there are many possible solutions available that work well, such as transfer by title, will, and trust. Figure this out soon, as it could be messy otherwise. Seeing that minor children and real property are involved, I my guess is that everyone will be better served if a trust is involved.

Does my father have any rights to any of my stepmother’s inheritance if they have been married for 30 years?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James

She has every right to NOT share her inheritance with her husband - inheritance is separate property.
