My elderly parents drew up a new will, my dad signed it, however, my mother went into rehab for a broken hip about that time and she has not signed it

It is not clear to me whether your parents created one will which they both were supposed to sign or two separate wills - one of each of them.  If it's the first RUN to a local estate planning attorney and get it done right.  If its the second and it was not done by an attorney, again RUN to a local estate planning attorney and get it done right.   Second you may be the named executor in the will, but you have absolutely no power to do anything until such time as the will is probated and you are appointed as executor by a probate court.   Finally, most attorney's who are estate planners can arrange for tghe appropriate people to assemble in hospitals or nursing homes to facilitate the execution of wills appropriately under Texas law.  It requires more than just signing it.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The person named in father's will needs to petition the court to be appointed personal representative. Probate should be started in the county he called home, or where he had assets; if there is real property, there will have to be a probate in that state. Get a lawyer to help with this process. It is far less expensive to do it right from the beginning than to fix it after the fact.

We have been married for 30 years, if I die with all property in my name, will my wife get the property?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Your property will pass by your will, if you have one, or the intestacy statute if you have no will. If you have no will, then you have to look at how you acquired the property. Was it separate or community? Separate property and community property are divided differently.
