The question is whether your husband’s sibilings would be able to inherit if his Will left the property to you.
Assuming nothing unusual, it will pass to you. But this requires probate.
A Will can alter intestacy rights, such as a decedent’s parents, siblings, even children. However a Will does not override:
- A Transfer on Death Deed (in Oklahoma);
- A Trust (provided the property is deeded into it);
- Property owned in joint tenancy (unless it is the survivor’s Will);
- Certain spousal rights; or
- Property deeded reserving a life estate.
A simple land / mineral trust is a good solution. It avoids probate and can cover contingencies (such as passing property to the children of a beneficiary who predeceases)
Otherwise, a Transfer on Death Deed may be a good solution.
These are broad and general statements and no legal advice. Certain situations may call for different planning.
