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

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
No. Texas law does not recognize a separation. The spouse would be entitled to 50% of the community estate. There may be an issue as to what is considered community property, and what is separate property, however.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
If you have a lawyer then he/she should let you know what needs to be done and how much you are allowed to charge. Whether it makes sense to charge depends on the circumstances. While you are entitled to reasonable compensation, anything that you receive for services is taxable income. Anything you receive as an inheritance is likely tax free.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney Ronald Lloyd Anderson (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Howes & Anderson, P.C.
Your duties are set by the Code of Iowa and your attorney should be able to discuss these with you. If you have any questions you should contact your attorney before acting because some actions may require Court approval. The Court will ultimately set your fee. However your attorney should be able to give you an idea about the likely amount that you can expect to receive.
