If my husband died and left his house to his kids in a will, am I still entitled to half ownership of the house?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
It depends on whether or not the house was separate property. He was entitled to bequeath his property to whomever he wanted. His will can only transfer his property. So, if the house was community property, he could not bequeath your half to anyone.

Must I list my illegitimate child in my will?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You may draft your last will & testament as you please, but it is advisable that you list all of your children in your will so that their identities are known and to prevent others from coming forward and claiming to be a rightful heir upon your death. You may gift as much or as little of your assets to your children as you please, but it is probably a good idea to include all of their names for identification purposes.

Am I responsible for the bills that belonged to my deceased mother?

Edwin George Fee
Answered by attorney Edwin George Fee (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston L.L.P.
As long as you didn't obligate yourself regarding the debts (for example, by signing an agreement with the nursing home to be responsible for payment), then you shouldn't be liable for the debts.
