What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I am a 49 year old woman. I am on SSI. I am not able to work and lived with my Mother. She passed away last Wednesday. She owned the house but had left no will. I am scared because I don't know if I will be able to keep my (her) home. I don't know if it has to be willed to me. ANd if I am able to keep the home am I also then responsible for any bills she left as I don't know how I could pay them. If I couldn't pay them would I lose the house. Sorry too many questions maybe? I just have no idea of how any of this stuff works and have no money to get myself a lawyer.
