Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

Who gets the property?
Charlotte NC - Mother in law passed away and did not have a will. the house she lived in belonged to her and her ex husband...she was the second person on the deed her ex was the main person listed on the deed. The house is paid for and both names remain on deed......Does the ex husband automatically get full rights to the property? We hear advise saying yes and others think 50% of the house is still hers and will go to her estate once set up? Not sure which to believe

Nobody can answer that question without seeing the deed.

95% of the time, in the scenario you are describing, they each own 50% (provided they were divorced and not just separated).
