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.

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

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Yes, if you are mentioned in the will, you can petition to open an estate. If someone else was designated, that person will petition. If there is no will, you can petition. The fact that you are out of state is not an impediment.

What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
In light of the fact your mother is deceased, she no longer has the power to execute a power of attorney to anyone. Powers of attorney prepared during life, die when the maker of the power dies.
