Did he own half of everything they had or does that just apply to debt?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
Texas is a community property state, so once your father married your stepmother, the property and income they acquired became community property. Because your father died without a will, the Texas intestate succession laws apply. They determine who is entitled to what part of your dad's estate. Because he left behind a fairly large amount of property, it is necessary for his estate to go through the legal proceeding known as administration. Please make sure to consult with an attorney who is experienced in this type of law. Your step mother's 401k belongs to her. It will be up to her to determine who should inherit it because from your question it appears she is still alive. If she writes a will, that will determine who is entitled to her 401k and retirement accounts.

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

Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
I am sorry for your loss. Whether his estate will be probated at all will depend on the following factors: 1. What was the nature and title of his property. 2. The terms of his Last Will. This is where he would have nominated an executor. 3. His home state of residence. For additional information, consult with an attorney specializing in estate administration.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Yes, you can. It doesn't matter if you are out of state. However, an in-state "agent" will need to be named. The agent will forward correspondence to you. Often the attorney assisting you will be named as the in-state agent.
