How can my mom change title of condominium if it's under her and my brother's name and my brother passed away?

Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
How you proceed depends on the followup wording.. e.g. not just John Doe (son) and Mom Doe (mom), does it say as Joint tenants with rights of survivorship or as Tenants in Common? Contact a real estate attorney if you do not know the difference.

Who is in charge of the estate of a father dies with no will?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Nobody is in charge unless and until the Court puts them in charge. You should run and not walk to a probate attorney near you immediately, as your inquiry raises some significant concerns. When a person dies without a Will in Texas, their property passes to their heirs. The list of heirs never includes live-in girlfriends, and based on your brief facts, the decedent's sister has no greater right to anything than the girlfriend. Do not permit this situation to continue. Doing so will only make it increasingly more difficult to advocate and enforce your rights.

Can a widow remodel a home while the estate is held up in probate and only the deescalated name is on the deed?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
That is a question best asked to the probate attorney handling the case. It may depend upon whether she has the right to reside there now, does she ultimately receive the property and who is paying for the remodeling. It also may matter if the remodel will increase the value.
