What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
My father passed away without a will and my family has some questions. Him and his girlfriend shared their home and both names were on the deed. They were in a relationship for about 12 years. She put the house on the market and has a closing date of August 31st. My family is wondering if she is able to sell the house without the consent of my father's next of kin, my brothers and me. If she does sell the house are we entitled to any of the money made from the sale? We are not looking to profit. Only to pay off the 11,000 dollar funeral costs that were aquired. We are all young still, in our 20's, and cannot afford to pay for legal adivce. Any support is appreciated.
