The husband has discovered that the home remains titled jointly to the wife and her former husband, who is also deceased.

    Default Re: Inheritance Rights to a Home Still Titled to a Deceased Spouse's Ex-Husband

    The surviving husband has homestead rights, and should be able to remain in the home for the rest of his life if he chooses. However, he should consult with a probate lawyer about the complications. It will be necessary to investigate past events, including the terms of the divorce judgment, and also determine if there are potential heirs with claims to the home.
