Question: A house is jointly owned by a husband and wife. If one of them dies, should half of the house be divided among the children, or will the entire property be inherited only after both have passed away?
Answer: When either the husband or wife passes away, half of the house becomes part of the deceased’s estate and is subject to inheritance. This half of the property should be valued, and the value should be divided among the heirs accordingly, either by selling the house or through any other practical means, such as one of the heirs purchasing the other shares.
