My father died, will my mother get his entire estate?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
I think it's useful to discuss the different between what happens when someone does have a will, and when someone doesn't. In Texas, a person who dies without a will is known as "intestate." In that case, with your father's set of facts, the rule is that if he died intestate and had no other children outside of his marriage to your mother, your mother would indeed take everything upon his death. Because your father had a will, this default rule does not apply. The details and contents of your father's will determine what you are indeed entitled to. If your mother has begun the probate process, she will be required to submit an original version of his will to the court where it will then be made public. You can then see what his will said by looking up the case information online (available in many of the larger counties in Texas) or by contacting the county clerk's office. It appears as though your father made provisions for you in his will, but it's a good idea to consult a local attorney experienced in probate matters to discuss the specifics of your case. That way you'll have all of the information you need to decide how to move forward. Good luck.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
A will is only effective after the death of the creator (testator). A will requires opening a probate and appointing an executor to execute the terms of the will under the supervision of a court. There are extra expenses with a will resulting from opening a probate. An advantage of probate is that it cuts off claims against the estate at 6 months after opening the probate. A living (grantor) trust goes into effect while the creator (grantor) is alive. Assets are placed into the trust when created and can be dealt with by the grantor while alive. The living trust is fully amendable and revocable by the grantor. Successor trustees are named and thus upon the death or incapacity of the grantor the named successor trustee is able to act and deal with the trust estate without having to go to court. A successor trustee's ability to step in for the grantor could help avoid the necessity of a guardianship in the event of a loss of capacity. Creation and amendment of a living trust is not as formal as creation of or changing a will.

If my home had no Mortgage taxes were up-to-date how were they able to auction my home legally?

If the facts are as you represent then something is wrong.  You should run not walk to a real estate or probate and estate planning lawyer to see if you have a remedy.
