Re: ownership
Dear Widower: You may be required to file a petition (application) with the Probate Court of your County for determination of your late spouse's estate and to have her 1/2 of the value transferred to you. If there are any cjhildren born of your marriage, they are entitled to a portion of her half of the property as well, according to a Probate Schedule. Or, they can waive their inheritance in your favor.
I suggest you contact and retain an experienced Attorney to assist and guide you through this procedure. You can't do this without experienced legal counsel to advise you.
Good luck, and you have my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
Sincerely,
J. Norman Stark.
