How much of her husband's estate and assets is a wife legally due when she dies?

Robert Neil Newton
Answered by attorney Robert Neil Newton (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert Newton, P.C.
The signer of a will can only bequeath property that is owned by her at the time of death. They cannot transfer property of another. With that being said, there could be some contractual situations that arise, but that does not appear to be what you are describing.

Issues regarding Estate and Affidavit of Heirship Recording

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Hire a probate lawyer in the county in which your mother lived to file an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration.  If Florida law treats mineral rights as personal property, that should suffice.  If Florida law treats mineral rights as real property, after the Texas probate there will need to be an ancillary probate in Florida.

What do I ask an attorney on a first visit if he/she is reviewing a legal document (trust)?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Your friend, not you, should ask questions.  The basic question is whether the trust agreement is valid.  The follow up question is a request for an explanation of its terms.  Further questions depend on the answers to these and on the current situation.
