What happens to my house when I die?


Everyday, over a million people die all across the world, which is an extremely sad part of the world that we live in. But the good news, at least that many babies are brought into this world at the same time, making the deaths seem a little less terrible. But let's talk logistics about what happens when someone dies because they owned stuff and had money when they were alive on this earth that they can't take with them to the grave, like ancient Egyptians thought you could. They typically leave their houses, money and stuff in a will to their children or other family members. But what happens when a family member who dies didn't leave a will and they owned a house?

So when someone dies and they leave a house behind without a will, the house begins a process called probate. Probate is a process that can take up to 6 months and even up to a year! It's absolutely crazy. The house will go through the courts to rule who should get the house. If there is more than 1 child then it can make the process much more complicated, but it is still doable. Probate will end in giving the rightful heir a deed to the property, so they become in charge of upkeep and taxes and so forth.
