If the homeowner is deceased without heirs how do one become legal owner of the house?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
No. Generally not. There IS a law known as "adverse possession," and if someone grabbed the house, lived there for 15 years and no one challenged ownership, there is a *chance* they could be considered the owner. The problem is, there is almost always an heir, and if there is not, then the State is an heir. So you run a lot of risks in doing this with no certainty that you will end up with anything for the investment.

Do I have a right to my father's estate?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Get to an attorney as soon as possible. Your aunt has no say what so ever in your father's estate. You and your brother (any any other siblings) are the heirs and as an heir you have a right to file a Petition for Probate, sell the house and distribute the proceeds between you and your brother. Life insurance is hard to learn about, but as administrator you can forward his mail to you and perhaps he will have a statement that comes through the mail. Another option would be to check with the company he worked for. Do something now before it is too late. Once your aunt rents the house, you will be stuck with a tenant and if you do nothing she will keep the rent.
