Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
my house is only in husbands name. what problems would I have when he dies
1 Answer from Attorneys
If he still owns the house at the time of his death, it will be a part of his estate. If he has a will, it will be disposed of as provided in the will. You will have a claim against the estate if he does not provide for you in his will. You should consult with A lawyer knowledgeable about family law and estates in your area to find out what your rights are.
THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.
* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.
* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
