Is there any legal way while his sister is still alive for my husband to gain full ownership if she can’t afford to pay for anything towards the home?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
No, in California, following an estate distribution in kind, they own the home as tenants in common, each as to an undivided one-half interest, and can each leave their respective half to whomever they choose. Only if they agreed to deed the property to themselves as joint tenants with the right of survivorship would the last one living end up owning it all. If one of them is unhappy with the way things stand, a Petition for Partition and Sale can be filed in the county where the property is located, which, if the petition is granted, forces the sale of the property even when one of them is opposed to the sale. Generally, such a petition will be granted by the court if it is shown that it would be inequitable or result in waste to leave it the way things stand.

Can a spouse receive 1/3 of a child's part of an estate even though they were only married for one and a half years?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
A spouse, absent a will otherwise, is entitled to 1/3 of the deceased spouse's estate regardless of how long they were married. I am not sure what you refer to when you say "child".
