House brought in my name and father before he got married is new wife entitle to house also
My father brought house 10 years ago with me listed on mortgage. He got married in 7 years later and 3 years ago he, as grantor, removed my name from the deed and placed himself and his new wife as grantees. I’m still listed on mortgage with the bank and recently had to sign forms for refinancing. My father just died and I need to know does his wife have any legal claim to home since my father added her to deed and removed me from deed yet the mortgage is still in mine and his name?

I am so sorry for your loss. Please seek legal help. You would have had to sign the new deed transferring the property to your Father and his Wife so I think that transfer is void. You will need to have it set aside. How the rest of it passes depends on his Will or state intestacy laws. Good luck.
