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.

Am I obligated to finalize the transaction to sell part of the land I inherited?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
This is a tricky question. The answer depends on a few things. First, did the buyer pay any kind of earnest money for the property to your relative? If the answer is yes, and that buyer executed and filed a deed, the buyer may have technically owned the land before you inherited it, meaning that you essentially inherited nothing. If the answer is no, the terms of the sales agreement prevail. My strongest recommendation is to consult with a local attorney who is familiar with real estate and estate planning law as soon as possible to find out what your rights and obligations are.
