Does stepchild inherit or does the property go to the state if Step parent died without a will, leaving a residence?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
The estate will go to whatever distant relative is first in line such as parents, brothers and sisters, etc. If you are not a biological or adopted child you have no right to inherit.

What should be done if the house in husband's name only and the husband dies without a Will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You should claim a one half community property interest, as one half of the house is yours , if you acquired during marriage. If house was your husband, and no community funds were used to pay for the house, then the house goes to the three children. In that event if you intend on remaining in the house for the rest of your life, then you will want to seek the services of a lawyer to engineer a life estate agreement from the children to you; of course the children could charge you rent monthly or annually.

Can a will drawn after death be contested?

Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Answered by attorney Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
If all of your uncle's assets were distributed to his wife upon his death (your aunt) outright, then the assets are now owned solely by your aunt and will be distributed according to the terms of her will upon her death. Unless you can prove that your aunt was mentally incapacitated at the time she executed her new will, or that she was subject to undue influence, then unfortunately there is not much you can do. This a common occurrence, and one of the primary disadvantages of estate planning using basic wills rather than living trusts.
