What kind of attorney do I need to open a criminal case investigation involving elderly exploitation and death

I think you may be better served by hiring a estates/probate attorney who can help determine what you can do in your situation. Assuming she died without a will, then you should contact a probate attorney to help recover what may be yours as part of intestacy laws in Texas.

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

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 the executor close a bank account?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
A power of attorney ceases to have any legal effect as soon as the maker dies. To deal with the account legally, you should be an account signer, the named pay on death beneficiary, the court appointed executor (being named in the will does not give you any authority until it is probated), or file a small estate affidavit if the estate is small enough.
