If I would die vs If I die

Hi

Any difference?

(The speaker has no conditions; he is not likely to die soon)

If I would die would you sell this house?

If I die would you sell this house?

Thanks,

Tom

This won't work at all.

1) We don't use 'would' in both the if-clause and in the consequent clause unless some bargaining implied.
2) Following from point 1), the sentence suggests,

If I am willing to die (which I will do if you accept this bargain)

My suggestions:

If I die, will you sell this house?

If I died, would you sell this house?
