[quote=Anonymous]If they weren't married when the house was purchased, and only he owns the house, then the house automatically goes to his children upon his death. I'm not even sure a will can override that if the children are minors. I actually know someone whose husband died while their children were toddlers. They had bought the house together right before they were married and then he suddenly died without a will. Because the house was purchased before the marriage, the wife was only allowed to keep her half of the house and his half was given to the two minor children. In that case, the house could not even be sold until the children both reached 18. She managed to fight this ruling in court and won the other half of the house - mostly because they were married so soon after the purchase of the house. It was a sad case because his death was so unexpected.[/quote]
