Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
My husband has just been given a few months to live. We have a joint checking and savings account. Do I have to have them changed to just my name so that I can still pay our bills

No. If the account is joint with your husband it will be yours on his death. So sorry about husbands health

I'm saddened for you.
No, you don't need to remove your husband's name now.
