Intestate succession

My father died with no will and he and his wife have a house that is community property. Does she have usufruct over the house and is there anything we can do about it? i.e. force her out?

Re: Intestate succession

If the house she is living in is community property and your father had no will, you can't force her out because of her usufruct.

She will have a usufruct until she dies or remarries.
