WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE SURE I HAVE HALF OWNERSHIP OF MY MOTHERS HOUSE?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
While a surviving spouse has a lifetime right to occupy the house in Texas, once he leaves, that right is forfeited.  From your reference to "half" it appears that the house was community property and you are your mother's only heir.  Your stepmother may be your father's heir but only after he dies.  She has no rights while he is alive.  You may try to persuade your stepfather to join you in selling the house.  You may offer to buy him out or have him buy you out.  Given the time that has passed, you may sue for partition, forcing a sale.  Contact a local probate attorney.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You can always sue anyone, anytime. The question is whether you have a valid claim against them. Just because you are his child does not mean that you are his beneficiary. If your father left a valid Will or trust leaving his assets to another, that is his choice, absent you being under the age of eighteen at the time of his death. This the first question is how old are you? If you are 18 or older then you need to determine if he left a valid Will or a trust. If he left either and you are not the named beneficiary, then you do not have a claim. If not, you may. You should speak to an attorney if you have any questions about your rights.

Can i block an Affidavit?

If you are not married, you get nothing.  You may think that you are "common law" married but that is very difficult to prove.
