Q: Hi my dad has passed away he lived in Tennessee he he lived with a companion but there not married deed is on his name
Do I have rights to have deed changed in my name
A: The answer to your question is it depends on a lot of other things, but the bottom line is a probate attorney can help you with this. You should schedule consultation and be prepared to answer questions about whether he was still married to someone else, whether he had other children besides you, whether they are all still alive, whether he had any debts, whether he had been receiving Tenncare benefits, whether the house was owned free and clear, whether he had a will, and other things.
