Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Our mother and stepfather owned a home together, she passed away 3 yrs.ago, and he has passed this week . there is not a will or the home was not put in anyone's name other than the stepfather after her passing. I would like to know if the children of the mother have any legel rights to the home , there are no living heirs on the stepfather's side.

To supplement the above answer, see the Florida Probate Code on Intestate Succession for more information. 732.103 describes how the estate will descend to the heirs under law.
