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.

I was with my man for 14 years he just passed away am I entitled to anything?

Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
If you were not married to him - and if he did not leave a will naming you, chances are you will not be entitled to receive anything from his estate. Michigan does not recognize "common law" marriages - so you are just a "friend" and without a will, you get nothing.
