Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

Not enough information - speak with an estate attorney in your area.

If you are on the deed, certainly not. If he didn't have a will and he owned the property, no. Otherwise, need more information.

First, how is the land titled? Second, did your husband die with a will? Third, did you have an children with your spouse or did he solely have children from a prior marriage or relationship? If If there is a will and it did not adequately provide for you, you may also have a right to claim an elective shaere of the property. The answers to these questions will depend on what part of the estate you are entitled to.

I suggest that you see a probate lawyer immediately before you decide to move from the home. Take the will, if any. You might also want to learn how the land was titled and bring a copy of the deed. For all you know, you may have a life estate in the land or you may own the land outright, but it is not possible to know unless these documents are reviewed or more information is provided.
