If you are legally married,you are entitled to half of his possessions, that is if you did not signed a Prenup. You can even get money for the time you have been separated, that is alimomy.Also the court will obligate the person to pay fully the amount owed for child sopport That is, The time that he never paid). It doesnt matter if you have not been together, legally you are his wife .

Yes. Because he has vacated the domicile you can. However he needs access to his belongings via reasonable means.\n\nGood luck

On a federal level there are no affects to transferring assets between spouses.  Some states such as California are community property states, which means that all assets are considered to be owned by both spouses.

I'm not a lawyer, but my mom's friend went through a similar situation. According to what they were told, if you have EVER given permission for your husband to drive this vehicle (or he had tacit permission), you can't report it stolen, even if the vehicle is in your name. You probably could report the cell phone stolen, but other than that (and this really stinks), you're probably out of luck. Maybe a lawyer will have better news. Sorry. :(\n\n<edit>\nYou wrote and said you didn't give him any permission to ever drive your car. I then went and did a bit of research online and found the link below. Basically, it says that, depending on where you live (laws vary from state to state), "(1) Community Property is Generally Defined in the Negative.  A married couple domiciled in a community property state is presumed to own all of their property as community or marital property, regardless of titling, absent:\n\n(a) An agreement to the contrary; or\n\n***(b) Proof that the property was brought into the marriage by either spouse, a gift received by either spouse, inherited by either spouse, or a spouse's separate property before the couple became domiciled in the community property state.  \n\nFurthermore, in Wisconsin, due to the fact that the marital property regime was recently enacted, classification depends heavily on whether the assets were acquired before or after "the determination date."  The determination date in Wisconsin is the last to occur of: (1) marriage, (2) date of establishment of domicile by both spouses in Wisconsin; or (3) January 1, 1986."\n\nSince you brought the car into the marriage and have proof in the title/registration that your car is, in fact, YOURS, I don't know why they won't let you report it stolen. You might call the district attorney's office and ask them. Best of luck!

keep in mind that all property passes to the surviving spouse when one spouse dies...unless otherwise specified. Even though there was a will...unless it specifically states a division of assets...you might be entitled to nothing. If the two were divorced, it complicates things if the will was not updated. Also, if you are a minor, you have less control than if not a minor.\n\nHowever...the fact that a will was not shown to you IS curious. Do what the first person said. A will becomes public information. Go get a copy! It will just be a few bucks copying charge and then you'll know....

Its tricky... You can contest probate up to 180 days (I think) after the death.  If you have signed documentation that says that his estate goes to your husband, and there's language that says the written agreement superceedes any and all other agreements, you have a shot.  My advice is find the document, and go get a good lawyer who won't charge outrageous fees.  There aren't enough details in your blurb for me to tell you anything other than that.

Ask your lawyer. It all depends on the situation with the trust and the conditions of your divorce.

If you live in a community Property state then yes you are responsible for them.  Any and all debt incurred during a marital community is the responsibility of BOTH parties.\n\nI am sorry for your loss, and best wishes for the future.

If she's been living with this guy for more than 7 years than by state law, he is her husband although they are not legally married.  He would get everything unless a will is drafted.  But even wills can be contested, she needs a "living trust" which is undisputable.

His ownership of it may not be transferrable to you unless they own it as a tenancy in common.  And even then, his share going to you may not guarantee you the right to live in the home.   \n\nIf they own it as joint tenants, it's basically one dies, the other one becomes full owner.  You get nothing.  \n\nYou really need to see a real estate attorney in your area to find out your rights and what you should do.

Since you married to him and wherever he is citizen of you will be eligible for that countries residence and also citizenship after a few yrs in your case i don't know after how many yrs but that's how generally it works! Its up to you to take that or not its all your choice!! Your eligible but your citizenship comes first!

You will also have to be certain that your spouse is entitled to petition for you.

Basically, any property that either spouse owns prior to the marriage becomes marital property upon marriage—-regardless of whose name in on the title.  The divorce court will equally divide all marital property before issuing a divorce order.  \n\nGenerally, the way to exclude a house from marital property is with a prenuptial agreement where the spouses specifically agree to exclude certain property from marital property.  Or if a spouse is able to prove that the property was completely separate from the marital home and no marital funds were used to maintain this separate property (this includes mortgage payments, taxes, utilities bills, maintenance).  Basically, even if Husband lived in the house and never paid any bills, he is-—generally-—entitled to half the equity of that house.\n\nThis is a very basic rule which may not be true in your state.  (But most likely this is the law in your state because you are looking for one exceptional case, instead of many cases).  So, I advise you to talk to a family lawyer licensed in your state.   You and your lawyer can devise an exit strategy.  You may have other bargaining chips, such as his retirement or pension, to negotiate for what you want.  Just because he wants half of your house, does not necessarily mean he will get it.  \n\nIf you really want to find that Morris Marsden case, try www.lexisone.com, www.findlaw.com, or www.lawguru.com .  Also visit your state-court’s website; some courts publish and archive their opinions on their website.\n\n\nGood luck.\n\nSharmil McKee, Esq.\nPhiladelphia, Pa\nhttp://www.mckeelegal.com

dba_greg is right, but even if you become common law partners, have a lawyer write up a will. Especially if you live in a red state. "Some People" think common law rights are open to interpretation.  Do either of you have immediate family members who disagree with your lifestyle?  Then, make SURE your partner is legally protected!

I would get a second opinion from another solicitor.  By using the term "solicitor", I presume you are in the U.K.  I am not familiar with the laws of your country.  Here in the U.S., property would not pass to the decedent's siblings unless the decedent had no children or grandchildren and did not have a surviving spouse.

If the marriage was not procured by fraud, mistake, illegality or duress, then it is possible for a spouse omitted from a testator's will to challenge the distribution of the estate and obtain an intestate share for herself. The specific rules vary from State to State.\n\nHowever, spousal support is the right to be supported by the future efforts of the paying spouse, and as your uncle is apparently deceased, he has no future earning capacity. Therefore, the woman cannot obtain "support" from the estate, except to the extent that the estate may be contained by an income producing trust; in which case, the spouse could petition for an intestate share of that trust income. \n\nThis would not be financial support, however, and it would not last only one year. Rather, it would last as long as the trust continued to pay income.\n\nWhich, I'm sure, is not what you wanted to read. But, that's the law.
