Living In Deceaseds Home

Summary

If the lady who raised you passed away without a will, your rights to continue living in her home depend on several factors, including your legal relationship to her and the current ownership status of the property. Since you were not legally adopted, intestacy laws will determine the rightful heirs, likely her siblings. The mortgage status and who is responsible for payments are also crucial. Consulting an estate attorney can help clarify your rights and the necessary steps to secure your living situation.
