Re: property
My condolences for your loss. If your name is on the deed then you certainly have an interest in the property. I would need more information on the exact "wording" of the deed and other assets owned by the decedent upon his demise. You may contact us at anytime to further discuss this matter or schedule a free consultation at your convenience.
Re: property
The law where the property is located will control as far as your rights in the property. Therefore you would want to contact a NC attorney in the County where you purchased the property. Most likely, if you were both on the deed, you both own a 1/2 interest. His interest would pass to his estate.
Re: property
I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds as if you need legal representation to handle the intricacies of your situation. New York does not recognize common law marriages, but you have rights to the home. You also may other rights of which you are unaware. Please contact me via email if you would like to schedule a consultation.
