Hey Sonia! To ensure you inherit your father's house, he might consider the following options:
- Will: Your father can specify his wishes in a will, naming you as the beneficiary.
- Trust: Creating a living trust can help avoid probate and directly transfer the property.
- Transfer on Death Deed: Allows property transfer directly to you upon his passing.
Consulting a local estate attorney can help choose the best option.
