My father died, will my mother get his entire estate?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
I think it's useful to discuss the different between what happens when someone does have a will, and when someone doesn't. In Texas, a person who dies without a will is known as "intestate." In that case, with your father's set of facts, the rule is that if he died intestate and had no other children outside of his marriage to your mother, your mother would indeed take everything upon his death. Because your father had a will, this default rule does not apply. The details and contents of your father's will determine what you are indeed entitled to. If your mother has begun the probate process, she will be required to submit an original version of his will to the court where it will then be made public. You can then see what his will said by looking up the case information online (available in many of the larger counties in Texas) or by contacting the county clerk's office. It appears as though your father made provisions for you in his will, but it's a good idea to consult a local attorney experienced in probate matters to discuss the specifics of your case. That way you'll have all of the information you need to decide how to move forward. Good luck.

How do I go about changing the name on a property deed?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It depends on why you are changing the name. Since you posted in the estate planning law area, I will assume the original grantee on the deed is deceased. In order to have property taken out of a deceased person's name, that person's will must be submitted to probate (if he or she died with a valid will). If that person died intestate (without a will), there are other ways to handle this problem, namely via a small estate administration or an affidavit of heirship. Please make sure to contact an attorney to have a more in-depth discussion of the property deed in question.

Should i hire a probate lawyer

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Please take whatever documents you have to a probate lawyer (preferrably one who does fiduciary litigtion) who practices in the county in which the people died.  Please also note that the Texas Estates Code now permits an heir or beneficiary or someone who can convince the Court that they are interested in someone's well-being to ask the Court to look into the actions of an agent under a Durable Power of Attorney.
