Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

I am not sure I understand the question. Looking at your question as a trust and estates attorney, the answer would be no. Your wife would receive the house. You are not in the will.

Mike.

I agree with Mike - not being in the Will, you have no part of this. If it is never used as marital property it belongs exclusively by your wife, and she is free to do whatever she wants with it. Unless she has other obligations to her family members, she can create rights for you by placing you on a new Deed, along with her, but she is not obligated to do so. This is a trsponse to an Internet question and the reply is not intended to be legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship..
