Granny's gone and done it again

yes you do. Here, w/o a will DH would get half and the rest of it divided between grown children.

True, but probably not right away. It would go into probate first and could take many months before it gets distributed.

In calif your spouse gets it all if no will. If spouse dies with you then it goes to the children. Calif is a community property state. Even if your spouse isn’t on the deed they get it.

there is a living trust that sounds better to me. The house would go to him if we died but I could also revoke it til then

 

[Granny Hatchet]

oh and it also wont go thru probate this way

In calif no ID is required.

Um ...

In most cases, a California voter is not required to show identification to a polling place worker before casting a ballot.

However, if you are voting for the first time after registering to vote by mail and did not provide your driver license number, California identification number or the last four digits of your social security number on your registration form, you may be asked to show a form of identification when you go to the polls. In this case, be sure to bring identification with you to your polling place or include a copy of it with your vote-by-mail ballot. A copy of a recent utility bill, the sample ballot booklet you received from your county elections office or another document sent to you by a government agency are examples of acceptable forms of identification. Other acceptable forms of identification include your passport, driver license, official state identification card, or student identification card showing your name and photograph

This is according to CA Secy of State, Shirley N. Weber, PhD.

That's the same here, they call it marital property. We've been together for nearly 20 years, but not married. Both names are on everything, so the survivor of us still gets it all. A will makes sure the deceased's children get their share of the property so we keep talking about getting one. It's just stupid we haven't!
