Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
My husband owns the deed to the house. He is willing to give me 50% and the other 50% to his two children. {My step children} He is writing his wishes in a will. Is a will enough to guarantee my 50%? I also want to have living rights. I don’t not want to be thrown out of the house after his death. Can you state that in a will? I was also told that in Pennsylvania law I’m automatically entitled to 50% of the house. Is this true?

You are confused he owns a house . Owning a deed would be like owning the receipt from Giant. Moving on if he brought the hose while you were married, The house is owned ny both of you if not, Yes he can list the house in the will, The problem is now on his death 3 people now own the house. Thus could get ugly. He needs to talk to an estate attorney so his intent can be clearly recorded.
