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.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
The court will not send you anything that explains your duties as the administrator of the estate, or what you can expect in terms of compensation. In general, however, your duties are to identify and manage the estate assets, identify and pay the estate liabilities, handle any litigation or disputes in which the estate may be involved, distribute the estate according to the will (or according to the laws of intestacy if there is no will), and report to the court as needed regarding your activities as administrator. You also may not mix the estate assets with your own.

I am my moms executor and she recently passed away. I do not know where to start.

If the house is not in your mother's name, it is already owned by you, one sister and the other sister's estate.  If there is more in the estate than the house, you will have to probate the Will to get it.  Contact a probate attorney who practices in the county in which your mother lived and died.
