If a will is not signed or notarized, is it still active or null and void?

In order for a will to be legally valid in Texas it must be signed by the testator in the presence of two adult witnesses. If the will is not signed by the person making the will (the testator), it is not a valid will.

Who has the legal rights to a deceased person's car?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Sounds like a pretty open-and-shut case to me. I can't even begin to think of how a suit by your nephew could involve a vehicle that has not been used in 18 years. Even then, if your father has been sued, he needs to consider retaining a lawyer. At a minimum, the attorney could help your father timely file an Answer to the suit, assert any of a potential number of affirmative defenses and likely get the nephew's claims dismissed fairly quickly.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Not unless she had moved out more than a year prior to his death. If it was for more than a year, you have an argument under Michigan law. Otherwise, they would have had to have been legally divorced in order for her not to receive her share of the estate. There are ways that your father could have disinherited his wife. By failing to set up his estate plan, it sounds like his intent is only going to be partially honored.
