FAQs

If your husband dies and your name is not on the house title, you may not automatically inherit the property. The property may pass to his heirs according to state laws or his will. In Washington, if the property was held as community property, you may have rights to it. It's advisable to consult with a probate attorney to understand your rights and options.
