It depends if he has a will or not. IF he leaves the property to you it is yours. If he has children from a previous marriage, then a part of the house is theirs, if he dies without a will, but you will have a life estate in the property (in other words, you can live there until you die). If this is both of your first marriages, then I would encourage you to seek out a lawyer and get some wills written.
