If my husband died and left his house to his kids in a will, am I still entitled to half ownership of the house?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on a few things. Were you on title to the house? Did you buy the house during the marriage? If you have a community property interest in the house, he can't give it away. Also, if it's your homestead, you may still have occupancy rights to the house.

Your question is incomplete. Were you married? Do you have property held jointly with the decedent? Did he have a will? Are you named as a beneficiary? Michigan is not a community property estate, so marriage is a dispositive factor.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
The probate process takes place in the state where the decedent was a resident. Where he died does not really matter. If his wife is still living, probate will probably not be necessary, as long as his wife has access to their assets.
