Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

Edwin George Fee
Answered by attorney Edwin George Fee (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston L.L.P.
The creator of a trust has a great deal of flexibility in determining the beneficiaries of the trust, and the creator doesn't necessarily have to include his or her spouse as a beneficiary.

Does a property paid for before marriage become a community property after marriage?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
In Texas, property paid for before marriage usually does not become community property. The issue is that Texas homestead rights are separate from community ownership interest. A spouse has rights superior to a creditor by virtue of residing in property that the spouse does not own. The title insurance company should be able to provide a document that says he does not have homestead rights without stating that he has an ownership interest in the property. If not, you may consider shopping for a new title company.
