My question is do I have to do anything to asure myself of staying at the house or will his family have any right to the house after something happens to my husband? Will I have to move once he his no longer here?

Okay are you saying the house is in the will? if that is what you mean once they pass on and he gets the place you both go into the title office and put the house in both of your names.

Don't come here to get answers to an important question. Each state has it's own set of laws regarding how this works. If the parents have passed and the husband inherited due to the will they left the real question is did they pass before or after you were married? If he passes before you do and leaves no will you need to get answers on that probate issue.
Some of this I had to learn on behalf of other folks and it can be the hard way if this isn't taken care of prior to someone's passing. Have the conversation! There are books written by state but, you are wise to speak with an attorney who understands the right questions to ask and can guide you. Look for a probate attorney and whatever they charge you it will be worth it to know what will happen in the event he passes before you do. Good luck.

Check with a lawyer because it can get messy.
If we are talking divorce, most places have special rules for inherited property being separate from joint property and for matriomonial homes. Depending one where you live, it will decide which trumps which.
If we are talking estate issues, it will depend on what is in your parent's-in-laws will . Sometimes the property is passed within the family, and spouses are exempt from acquiring it. If this is the case, you may not be allowed to get your name on the deed. If the house is passed to your husband outright with no conditions, then you will have to ensure that you either are given ownership in his will (bad idea if there are estate taxes...) or take joint ownership right now (which could be a bad idea if there are outstanding taxes on the property)
Call a lawyer. This can become very complex.

If he inherited the house while you were married- you are entitled to half if there was a divorce. You'll have to have your husband create a 'will' saying that in the event of his death, the house would be soley yours.
Consult a lawyer and talk to your husband about your concerns.
Make sure your name is on the title.

In most places, the marital assets are joint (unless there is a CLEAR contract otherwise).
The house is already 1/2 yours. Your name not being on it is not a serious issue.
Still, you and your husband should have legal wills in place. If something happens to either one of you, it's taken care of.
You should have life insurance in place too.

I'm not sure I understand your question......you are currently living in a home that was given to your husband through inheritance, but his parents are still alive......and your worried they will want it back "after something happens to your husband"? Are you plotting his death or does he have a fatal disease or something? If they outlive him, then yes, you would move out if they wanted to live in the house simply out of respect for his parents. (at least that's what I would do)

What are you planning to have happen to your husband? Sounds like you have it planned out that he will die before you.
Make sure it's in his will that you get the house. Most likely this is not necessary, but I don't know the laws of your country.

If title to the home was legally transferred to your husband, then you are entitled to 1/2 of whatever is his.
If the mother wanted the home to be shared by his siblings, she would have made them all equal benificiarys

If you were to divorce your husband,You would be entitled to half of his positions in a divorce settlement..Or if he was to die you will inherit the lot..It would be a good idea to get wills drawn up,Then there would be no arguments..

You are married to him so therefore half of his is yours and yours is his so it will be yours when he goes. You shouldnt even be worrying about that unless you are leaving him and if so go to a lawyer for help.
