What is the name of your state? West Virginia
My friend's husband recently died of a heart attack. It was the second marriage for both. She moved into his house seven years ago, maintained it, and put in a lot of work on repairs.
Her husband never updated his will, or the deed to the house in his name. In his will he left the house to his three sons from his first marriage (first wife deceased). One of the sons told her on the day of the funeral she had six months to vacate. Another son said she could stay as long as she could pay the bills. taxes, etc. The third son did not voice an opinion.
Does she have any recourse to keep the house, which is modest? They were married seven years. Does the age of the will have any bearing? Can the two sons veto the third?
Thank you
