How do I get my deceased parents' house transferred into my name?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You probably need to file a small estate affidavit for both of your parents in the counties where they died. If your mother and father died with less than $50,000.00 in assets (not including their homestead real estate), you may file a small estate affidavit to transfer their assets to your name. It's unclear if you have siblings, but if you do, each of you will own equal shares of the property left behind. I recommend you contact an estate planning attorney to advise you on the specifics of your case. Good luck.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

What you can do with a will or trust or other estate planning belongs entirely to you. With a will, or a trust or other estate planning, your estate could be divided equally among your surviving children. Using the authority you have to punish or get even with one or more of your children may not be the best choice but it belongs to you. You cannot be put out of your own home. You need to consult an attorney about that immediately.

If a will is not signed or notarized, is it still active or null and void?

Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
In order for a will to be legally valid in Texas it must be signed by the testator in the presence of two adult witnesses. If the will is not signed by the person making the will (the testator), it is not a valid will.
