If parents remarried and they died and the house over $100,000 who is entitle to house?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)

Who owned the house when parents remarried? If the house was given to one party or the other in a divorce proceeding, then the house would be their separate property, unless they changed the title after remarriage to both of them. Not knowing the legal character of the property, I have to assume the property was separate property of one of the parties; that being said, and there was no commingling of properties after remarriage or title changes, then when the spouse who owns the separate property residence dies, the children of that spouse take the property in equal shares, unless there is some other will provision existing suggesting a different division. Obtain yourself probate legal counsel to assist you in this matter.
