We live in Houston, TX. If my husband or mother predeceases me, am I responsible for their debts - any individual credit or purchase accts they have?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Estate Planning lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
Your power of attorney has nothing to do with your mother's debts. Debts are generally addressed by the estate of the person who passed away. You may become responsible for debt if you were a co-signer or otherwise responsible for the debt along with the person who dies.  As for credit cards with your husband, that may be considered community debt.  You may write your wishes down, but it would be better to have formal Wills drafted to decrease the problems that could arise with any other type of Will you may draft on your own.

How do I obtain legal executive of my daughter's estate?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Hire a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your daughter lived and died.  Depending on the size of the estate, you may be able to file a Small Estate Affidavit.  This costs less than a determination of heirship and does not require a court appearance.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND COST TO OBTAIN A SMALL ESTATE AFFIDAVIT?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
It sounds as though you need to take the Will to a local probate attorney and present it for probate.  A Small Estate Affidavit can only be used if there is no Will and if the person left no more than a home, personal possessions worth no more than $60,000 and other assets (such as bank accounts) worth no more than $75,000.  Some courts require that the heirs be the surviving spouse or minor children.
