What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Illinois
We all live in Illinois. My dad is 82 and in bad health. What will happen to my dad's house if he dies without a will? Our mother or his wife is deceased for over 20 years. My brother, sister and myself are still alive. My one other sister passed away about 15 years ago. Her husband is alive and has remarried. My deceased sister has two daughters and a son. My brother is divorced and has two daughters. And I'm married and have three living stepsons. I raised these three boys as my sons but I never adopted them or anything. These are children my wife had in her first marriage.
I have not been able to talk my dad into writing a will. He doesn't have any money. And about the only bills he has is about $3,000 on a WalMart charge and about $1,000 on a home depot charge. He doesn't have any other assets besides the house that is paid for.
Can someone tell me how his house will be divided if I can't convince him to have a will drawn up?
Can he just add our names to the house title?
Thanks for any information.
