Can a will be signed electronically in Texas?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Some lawyers are conducting drive-by signings.  Others are lobbying for Texas to permit remote (video) notarizations.  Note that this is different from using an electronic signature.

Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

Yes, but why? Are you thinking asset protection? Then you want limited liability companies, not revocable trusts. Revocable trusts in Oregon provide essentially no protection from the settler's creditors.

If my father passed away in one state and I live in another and he had no property of assets, what do I do as his legal executor?

He passed away in California, California law will control. In Texas you would have a problem. Why did you think you were his legal executor if there was no will or probate proceeding appointing you? While people do start collecting the assets of the deceased right away (frequently to pay final expenses), until appointed, you do not have the right to do so. Taking the assets may be theft. You may need to get all of your receipts together to demonstrate where the money went. You will have a problem since you found cash in the hoard. You will not be able to prove the amount you found. Your step siblings may always hold out that it was more than it really was.
