If he had no will, and no children, the property should go to you. Probate would be neccessary. Contact my office at www.kliszlaw.com for more info. I can assist you with the probate. Tim Klisz

Re: Property of deceased husband

If all your worried about is transferring a property to you, then it should be a simple enough task. You will need to open up a probate estate unless there was a trust set up to avoid probate. You may contact the probate court and request a form to open an estate and become appointed personal representative. Sometimes the forms and/or the court will guide you through the process.
