You need to go down to your local property office and provide a death certificate.  For a small fee they will update your deeds.

I am a Realtor in TX.\nJoint tenancy means the rights of survivor ship\nare in effect so if either owner dies,the remaining owner takes possession.\nIn tenancy in common the deceased party can convey property to their heirs.

Ignore all of the above answers.  They are plain wrong.\n\nIf he died without a will, the law of "intestate succession" in Ohio will determine who gets what portion of his estate, or his assets.  Generally speaking, the law of intestate succession provides that the estate will go to the spouse, and if the spouse died first, then to the children, if any. So if you are his only child, generally speaking, you should get everything.\n\nIn order to settle an "intestate" estate (one in which the person died without a will) the next of kin must go to the local surrogate to have administrator appointed (In contrast, if a person dies with a valid will, this step is uneccessary, because the will will ususally appoint an executor in its terms).  The person seeking to be the administrator of an intestate estate generally has to post a bond (but may vary in Ohio, depending upon Ohio law) to protect the administrator from screwing over the beneficiaries.  \n\nOnce appointed, the administrator has to "settle the estate.  That is, marshall (or gather) the deceased person's assets, pay his debts, and then, if anything is left over, distribute the residue (what's left over) to the beneficiaries.  \n\nIf your father had assets, and no real debt, and you think there will be a good amount of money left over from his estate (the "residue") and you fear your aunts will steal what is rightfully yours, you should hire an Ohio lawyer to 1) contest them being appointed administrators, and 2) have you appointed as administrator instead.   This will cost you money, but it will generally be paid out of the residue of the estate.  In other words, the lawyer will try to have you appointed as administrator, and if he is successful, he will help you settle the estate, and take his fee from the residue (what's left over after all debts are paid). It is very much worth the money.  \n\nIf you do get cheated, you might be able to resort to the bond which the administrator likely had to post.  Contact a lawyer to find out how.  \n\nGo to www.martindale.com to find a lawyer who practices estate and trust law in the county in Ohio in which your father resided or died.  Do not delay in contacting a lawyer, as the sooner you challenge your aunts actions, the better.  \n\nGood luck.

Wow...  It depends on her will.  If the grandmother of your fiance has a will and leaves the property to her son (first born or not) he will get it all.  If she leaves to your fiance's aunt, she gets it all.  If she doesn't have a will, then it goes to her kids (assuming the grandmother's husband is already passed).  The kids, without a will, will all get an equal portion of the land.

Laws governing property and spousal rights vary widely from one state to the next. Go see a lawyer. Initial consultations are usually free.\n\nWith that said, in many states it doesn't much matter whose name is on the mortgage. Assets acquired while a couple is married are generally considered to be jointly held. And so, a wife who moves out nonetheless has a property interest in the house whether she co-signed the mortgage or not. The same is true for any other property and investments.\n\nIt will behoove you (especially if there are children involved) to not be guided by what any of the folks here are saying (including myself). Call a local lawyer who will help you to keep a share of what is rightfully half yours.

Do not stress because if your properties go to your husband they are spouse exempt for inheritance tax. So no tax to pay.\nAlso any gains on them for captial gains tax are also wiped out on your death.\n\nPlease get a will do not leave this the administration of estates act 1925.\n\nYou may worth getting advice about how to efficiently tax plan on your husbands if he dies first, spending money now will give you the peace of mind that if something should happen to you or your husband there would be the bare minimum liability to tax.\n\nYour husband may have to pay income tax on any rental income received so be wise this aspect aswell.

If you move your new spouse into your home you don't need to do anything.  If you're buying a home together then should't both names be on it?  I wouldn't buy a house with someone and not put my name on the deeds - husband or not!

It really depends on the laws of your state, but usually what happens when a person dies intestate is that the court appoints an executor who is responsible for liquidating all the assets of the decedent's estate.  Before any friend or family member gets any money or property out of the estate, the executor has to pay for any claims made against the estate.  As a result, whoever pays for the funeral and burial expenses can make a claim against the estate for reimbursement.  In this case, I would strongly advise you against getting involved if you're worried about how you'll be able to pay for it and whether your ex has enough assets to cover the burial/funeral expenses.  Doesn't matter if his brothers and sisters expect you to handle this or not -- you are under NO LEGAL OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER to stump up the cash for anything involving your ex.

I am not positive about death but; in divorce, both parties are responsible for debts incurred durring the course of the marriage.  I am inclined to say yes after death if it is something that is in both of your names, like a mortgage, any loans, any joint debts yes.  I don't know that you would be liable for things only in his name.  Call a lawyer, most will give a free consultation in the office or even over the phone.

This depends on the deceased's will (that is, the grandparent's will).  If the will says that the estate is to be divided "per stirpes", then each branch of the family gets an equal share.  But this is only one of several ways that the will could be written.  If there is no will, then it is determined by the common law of your state, and you'll have to ask an estate attorney.

See a lawyer with your husband and he/she will get the ball rolling with the paperwork involved to change the title/deed to the new joint owners if this is what your husband agrees to!!! \n\nIf he does not, he better set it in his will at that same time to say that if anything happens to him that the rightful person(s) receives the property upon his demise!!!\n\nGood luck.....

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.

Everyone seems to be mentioning a will, and that is correct.  In your last will and testament you can name a guardian for your children in the event of your death.  \n\nHowever, if your ex-spouse wants to take custody, he/she will probably win over your proposed guardians as natural parents are preferred over non-parents in custody battles.
