Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Tennessee
I am married to a woman and the house we have is in her name only. We have been married for 16 years and have had 3 different houses and they have all been in her name only. If she was to die what happens to the house?

That depends on several factors: 1) whether you and she entered into a prenuptial agreement before your marriage; 2) whether you and she have subsequently entered into a post-nuptial agreement; 3) what is contained in her will, and whether you can descent from the will; and 4) if she has no will, what your position would be as a surviving spouse of a person dying intestate.
