If the husbands name is the only one on the deed and he dies. Does the wife automatically ihherit the house? I live in New your and can there be a deed transfer upon his death?
Thank you Janet

As far as I know, if your husband dies, the property will automatically be yours if you do not have any children. However, if you have children, you are entitled to $50000 of the estate plus one half of the rest. The other half will be distributed equally among your children.
