Who will the house go to if my father dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Isaac David Shutt (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
It's hard to know for 100% certainty who will get the house at this point. If he had taken steps, outside of a will, to give the house to someone-then, that may end up ultimately controlling what happens. If he hasn't done anything to transfer ownership of the house, if he has no will, then the Texas laws of intestate succession will control ownership of the house after he dies. In your case, the Texas laws of intestate succession would appear to give all of his property to his children in equal shares (including the house).

Who will get the house if there is no will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
There are too many issues here to easily answer. There is no such thing as common law bigomy, so your mother was your father's wife and next of kin when he passed.

After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
No. Termination of parental rights also terminates the child's right to inherit via Colorado's law of intestacy upon the death of the parent who's parental rights were terminated.
