My father and uncle jointly own the home they inherited from my grandmother. My father's physical and mental health has been deteriorating for some time and I reside at the house with him where I have been helping him. There is no will at this time and I am concerned about what will happen when my father passes. My uncle owns a home of his own so does not reside with my father and me but relations between my uncle and I have been strained for years and I'm concerned about what will happen once my father is no longer in the picture.
Obviously we need to get a will in order but circumstances make it difficult. Without a will, will my father's half of the ownership fall to me when the time comes? I have one younger brother as well, and I know my father means for his half the house to be inherited by both of us which is not an issue as we're (my brother and I) are more concerned with my uncle attempting to take full control of the house than any unlikely conflict between us.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.
