Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kentucky

Re: wills

There are too many unknown factors to give an answer. (1)what does the deed say? (2) is stepfather married? (3) is there a will? The concern here is that the stepdaughter is not an heir of the stepfather. He can provide for her in the will. However, if the deed provides that the property goes to the survivor, then the property goes to whichever of the two survive. Consult an attorney and give him/her the facts.

Re: wills

If the deed showed father and stepdaughter owned house in joint survivorship, dad's share should go to stepdaughter, unless dad was married at time of death, in which case wife would have claim to marital share.
