How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
In order to deal with real estate of a decedent you must open a probate case and have the court appointed representative deed the property. It may be possible to work with a title insurance company and insure over the title defect with the filing of a death certificate, an affidavit of heir-ship and a deed signed by all heirs. There is likely to be an additional endorsement fee beyond the usual charges and a personal undertaking (indemnification) that the heirs must sign. This will not cure the title defect but it may induce the title company to assume the risks if they are comfortable with the heir-ship proof.

How do I get my deceased parents' house transferred into my name?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You probably need to file a small estate affidavit for both of your parents in the counties where they died. If your mother and father died with less than $50,000.00 in assets (not including their homestead real estate), you may file a small estate affidavit to transfer their assets to your name. It's unclear if you have siblings, but if you do, each of you will own equal shares of the property left behind. I recommend you contact an estate planning attorney to advise you on the specifics of your case. Good luck.

Does a property paid for before marriage become a community property after marriage?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
In Texas, property paid for before marriage usually does not become community property. The issue is that Texas homestead rights are separate from community ownership interest. A spouse has rights superior to a creditor by virtue of residing in property that the spouse does not own. The title insurance company should be able to provide a document that says he does not have homestead rights without stating that he has an ownership interest in the property. If not, you may consider shopping for a new title company.
