Is it legal for the stepmother to add her name to the real estate license bought by her parents without our knowledge?

Legitimacy should be analyzed in detail: first, determine the ownership of parents buying real estate. If it is owned by your father alone, your father has the right to dispose of it completely. As long as he agrees, he can apply for joint ownership of the property with your stepmother. If the property purchased by your parents really belongs to both husband and wife, and your mother didn't designate the property to anyone before her death, according to the inheritance principle of inheritance law, children and husbands enjoy equal shares. In this case, it is illegal for your father and stepmother to add their names to the property under their parents' names without your children's knowledge.
