1. The homestead protection afforded to a surviving spouse only permits the spouse to live in the house for the remainder of her/his life. If the deceased is not survived by any lineal descendants, the property would revert back to the terms of the will. Should the surviving spouse be able to obtain full title to the property without it going to lineal descendants of the deceased after the surviving spouse’s death or back to the terms of the will?
