If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
No. Texas law does not recognize a separation. The spouse would be entitled to 50% of the community estate. There may be an issue as to what is considered community property, and what is separate property, however.

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, it is. Bring these facts to the attention of the court. Incidentally, she's not entitled to 1/2, she's entitled to, at most, 1/3 of his estate, in Oregon.

Does the surviving spouse with a will still go into probate when there is a POA and does the acting POA still has to perform as a POA for the spouse?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
A Power of Attorney is a sharing of rights between living people, and it is void upon the death of the principal. Not to make light of a death, but dead people do not own property - that is the role of probate. There is no requirement that a will be presented for probate, but often a properly executed will is the simplest way to start the probate process. See what property remains in the decedent's name, and if that property cannot be transferred to the heirs or beneficiaries (real estate, financial accounts with no named beneficiary), contact a local attorney to see what form of probate best suits the needs of the estate.
