VerifiedThank you for your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.

Are you saying your husband of two years has died and the Will did not leave you any assets such as the house?

Are you saying your husband of two years has died and the Will did not leave you any assets such as the house?
I understand.
But legally he could not transfer the property out of his name to their names to defeat the law.
You most assuredly did not have to move out.
And even if there was a leased property that matrimonial home is still the matrimonial home.
I don't know what more you want.
As I've said your marriage was too short to entitled you to much if any assets so you will only get what is in the Will.
You can apply for support if he was supporting you or apply for a division of the value of any assets you acquired together during the two years and treat this as a separation if you like.
