Q: grandfather dies and 4 grand children are left the home but my husband has lived in the home for the past 16 years?
my husband has lived in the home he shared with his grand parents for the past 16 years his brothers and cousin have never spent any time in the home nor never visited, now that the grandfather is passed and grand mother the brothers want him to sell but he will then have no where to live since he has been in this house on an off his whole life an more so the last 16 years. does he have any legal ground on keeping the home for his own family. he is willing to get a loan but will need time and the home isn't worth selling in the condition it is in we have had it looked at by realtors and contractors and to sell it is is like a contractors special he offered them 15,000 each is that fair when the home is only worth 80,000 and that is pushing it. do to the home is 45 years old and has many structural issues and electrical, and is falling apart, it is cheaper for us to stay in the home rather then sell it. we need some advice on what legal standing he has.
A:
Who does the house belong to.
That is the person he needs to talk to to buy the house.
