Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

Please draft wills. If your husband passes away before a will is executed the house would belong to you and your children.

The house would belong to you and your children. It would be fairly messy. Besides drafting wills which would be a good idea, you might also want to think about transferring the house into both your names (if your husband is amenable). It provides protection for your husband against creditors if he should be sued and it will automatically be conveyed to the spouse if one spouse dies. Of course there might be reasons why he would not want to do that which is why he should consult with an attorney.
