Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arkansas
Real estate
My husband owned land before we were married. We will soon be married 10 years. We have never put the property in both names. If he dies, what will happen to the land and house?

Re: Real estate
Depends on his Will if he has one...
Re: Real estate
The real property will pass under your husband's Last Will & Testament or Revocable Living Trust or state law (which generally provides for distribution of assets to spouse and children).
The property will most likely be distributed under your husband's Last Will & Testament or Revocable Living Trust, assuming he has executed one of those docuemtns. If he has not executed one of those docuemtns then state law will decide who inherits his property. It is important that all adults have a Last Will and Testament or Revocable Living Trust to ensure that his or her wishes are followed. Feel free to email if you have any questions or to discuss further.
