My husband and his sibling own a home together. If something happens to him, his half of the deed reverts to her, vica versa. My name is NOT on the deed. They have owned the home for 4 years, he and I have been married 21 years and we live together in the home he and his sister own. I am a disabled senior and if he were to pass before me, I know for a fact that I would be put out of the home. I need to obtain documentation that if he precedes her in death that his share of the home goes to me, his wife. He and I also have 4 children.

His ownership of it may not be transferrable to you unless they own it as a tenancy in common. And even then, his share going to you may not guarantee you the right to live in the home.
If they own it as joint tenants, it's basically one dies, the other one becomes full owner. You get nothing.
You really need to see a real estate attorney in your area to find out your rights and what you should do.

I would think a Real Estate Attorney
Do you live in a Community Property State? I live in California, which is a Community Property State. Which means, you would have an interest in the property in less you had already signed off any possible Community interest.

He needs a will stating his wishes. Any Attorney, Real Estate Attorney can write one up. You are not entitled to it just because he is your husband. It sounds like he inherited it.
