My father is very sick and my stepmother has threaten to have to cops remove us from the hospital and that if he dies everything is hers and we get nothing. My father's house was paid for by my mothers death and the deed is in his name and his name only so can my stepmother take it and all the contents and leave us with nothing? Help he has no will and only enough life insurance that comes to me if he dies.
Welcome onell,
If the property is in your father's name, then all the heirs will have the rights to his property. If your father has a will, then that will needs to be probated and then the property will be divided amongst the heirs. Your step-mother cannot simply claim the property after your father's death.
