What legal rights do we his children have as his heirs to the home or other assets he left behind?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It depends on how the assets were held. Married couples often hold all their assets as joint tenants with right of survivorship when one owner dies, the surviving owner(s) owns all of the asset. If your father owned any assets in only his own name, then they would pass according to his will (very commonly, "all to my spouse") or if he had no will, half to his spouse and half equally to all of his children. (This does not necessarily apply to the house, or any other assets in Arizona, but just to Oregon assets. I believe Arizona may be a community property state, so, again, the likely result is that the house inherits, but you'd have to check with an Arizona lawyer).

Is that legal if my step mother took all of my father’s inheritance from my grandmother because he died 10 days after her?

The answer depends on many different factors. It is certainly possible. If you do not think this was appropriate, you should review all the facts with an attorney who can help you investigate further.

Is there something I can do without having to pay to have a succession done just for the house?

It depends on how your home is titled. If owned by you and your husband as tenancy by the entirety then the bank is wrong. You own the property and need only file an affidavit of survivor-ship with the recorder of deeds. If for some reason the title is in both names as tenants in common (which is uncommon for a husband and wife) then you would have to talk to a lawyer to see if an action can be taken to get the property in your name.
