Does anyone know what happens to a house if your partner dies and you are legally married to her. Do the family move in and turf you out, even if you bought the house.?

Does she know she's going to die yet? 

[Clermont]

Don't know, but we've both got a foot in the grave, time waits for no-one.

Yes, if you read that artical which is basically from the family code the spouse is third in line for inheritance. You have just got to persuade the kids not to throw you out.

To JRLee, what is the process you were required to follow to become Chartered Trust and Estate Planner in Philippines? I ask because I was a CFP in Canada and I'm curious what legal qualifications would be needed. Thanks in advance. - Dave

 Hmmm yes all good on this Part but Azon and I are a little concerned about Trisha and her Stand in all this as she is of course illegitimate and according to the Rules only gets 50% so we are now working with the Halls of Justice to see what we can do. Sod letting the family have the other 50%
